BOOM! NY AG Letitia James hit with bar complaint after federal judge tosses case

November 29, 2025

From the New York Post: New York Attorney General Letitia James was hit with a bar complaint from a right-leaning group on Friday, days after having her federal mortgage fraud charges tossed by a judge in a temporary procedural win.

The Center to Advance Security in America submitted a request with the Manhattan and Bronx-focused Attorney Grievance Committee for the state to investigate James’ potentially “illegal and dishonest conduct” leading to the criminal charges.

“Fraud, misrepresentation, honesty and trustworthiness are all factors that the Rules of Professional Conduct expressly factor when weighing whether to discipline an attorney,” wrote Curtis Schube, the group’s director of research and policy, in the four-page complaint.

“The Committee, therefore, should immediately investigate the allegations against James and, if by ‘preponderance of the evidence’ the allegations are substantiated, she should be disciplined accordingly.”

James had gloated in celebration earlier this week, after a judge tossed the charges against both her and former FBI director James Comey, claiming the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, had been improperly appointed.

However, the judge did not rule on the charges against James, leaving open the possibility that she could be charged again.

James wrote on X, “I am heartened by today’s victory and grateful for the prayers and support I have received from around the country. I remain fearless in the face of these baseless charges as I continue fighting for New Yorkers every single day.”
