'GET TRUMP' CONTINUES: NY AG Letitia James Says She Won't Drop Civil Fraud Case Against Trump

posted by Hannity Staff - 12.10.24

According to a Fox News report, New York Attorney General Letitia James has confirmed she will not drop the civil fraud case against Donald Trump.

Trump was ordered to pay a $454 million civil fraud judgment in James’ lawsuit against him; she is currently waiting for the appeal court decision, arguing presidents are not immune from civil litigation.

From Fox News:

Trump has appealed the ruling, and judges on a New York appeals court seemed receptive to potentially reversing the judgment altogether.

The New York attorney general’s office on Tuesday said they are not going to take action to drop the case against the president-elect.

James’ office argued that presidents do not have immunity from civil litigation arising from unofficial conduct, and said lawsuits “may proceed while the president is in office.”

James’ office also argued that the final judgment does not impact any conduct Trump may undertake as president. They also said Trump’s inauguration is “irrelevant to the 14 other defendants found liable in our case.”

James’ office also said that they are now waiting for a decision on Trump’s appeal, and said waiting for that decision on the civil matter “does not in any way affect Trump’s ability to serve as president.”
