House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik has filed a complaint against New York Attorney General Letitia James for, what she’s describing as, a “biased” campaign to get former President Donald Trump.
“I have found New York Attorney General Letitia James’ handling of the investigation and trial of President Donald Trump nothing short of shameful,” Stefanik says.
Stefanik accused James of violating “fundamental principles of fairness and impartiality by engaging in a relentless” campaign to damage Trump — “marked by over 50 prejudicial comments on social media during just the first five weeks of the trial.”
“It’s been her explicit mission since she announced her run for office to go after President Trump,” Stefanik’s statement added. “Such behavior not only undermines the integrity of the legal process but also violates the Rules of Professional Conduct to which James, as a licensed attorney, is bound.”
Stefanik is imploring the Attorney Grievance Committee to act.
“I urge the Attorney Grievance Committee to immediately conduct a thorough investigation and take appropriate disciplinary action, including the immediate interim suspension, disbarment, or suspension of Attorney General James, to uphold the integrity of our legal profession and ensure justice is served impartially.”
Stefanik shared the news on X.
“I urge the Attorney Grievance Committee to immediately conduct a thorough investigation and take appropriate disciplinary action, including the immediate interim suspension, disbarment, or suspension of Attorney General James.”
