NYC Public Advocate's Statement On The Dismissal Of Case Against Attorney General Letitia James

November 24th, 2025

"The Trumped-up charges against Attorney General James have thankfully been dismissed. The administration's obvious efforts to target her and others have been as inept as they are corrupt. This should send a powerful message about the ability to stand up to Donald Trump’s abuses, not capitulate to them. I know that the Attorney General will continue to do what all of us New Yorkers must – stand up against injustice and use the power we have to protect those without it.

"I don’t expect the Trump administration to stop its attempt to weaponize the Justice Department against people willing to stand up for the rule of law, but I’m relieved that the rule of law is standing up to the Trump administration."
