New York Attorney General Letitia James Celebrates Civil Fraud Ruling Against Donald Trump
In a victorious moment for the American justice system, New York Attorney General Letitia James celebrated a civil fraud ruling against former President Donald Trump. James delivered a powerful speech, emphasizing that the court’s decision was a win for hard-working Americans who abide by the rules.
“No matter how rich, powerful, or politically connected you are, everyone must play by the same rules,” James declared. She further added, “Donald Trump may have authored the ‘Art of the Deal,’ but he perfected the art of the steal.”
The attorney general highlighted the extensive evidence presented during the 11-week trial, revealing the staggering extent of Trump’s fraud. She detailed how Trump and his co-defendants deceived banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions for personal gain. James stressed that their fraudulent actions unjustly benefited Trump, his family, and his company.
James emphasized that white-collar financial fraud is not a victimless crime, debunking the misconception that it only affects faceless corporations. “When the powerful break the law and take more than their fair share, there are fewer resources available for working people, small businesses, and families,” she stated passionately.
Expressing her gratitude, James thanked her team at the Attorney General’s office for their tireless efforts in building the case. The scale and scope of Trump’s fraud left no doubt about his wrongdoing. The attorney general emphasized that Trump’s ego and belief that rules do not apply to him were no defense against justice. Today, she said, they are holding Donald Trump accountable.
Following her remarks, James did not entertain questions from reporters and promptly left the room. Her statement echoed the written release issued by her office earlier that day.
This civil fraud ruling against Donald Trump marks a significant milestone in holding those in power accountable for their actions. The ruling sends a clear message that no individual is above the law, regardless of their wealth, influence, or political connections. It serves as a reminder that justice prevails, even in the face of formidable figures.
