From Fox News: New York Attorney General Letitia James said she will not drop the civil fraud case against President-elect Donald Trump as she waits for the appeal court decision, arguing presidents are not immune from civil litigation.
Trump and his attorneys demanded that James drop her civil fraud case against him, his family and his businesses “for the greater good of the country” last month.
Trump was ordered to pay a $454 million civil fraud judgment in James’ lawsuit against him.
Trump has appealed the ruling, and judges on a New York appeals court seemed receptive to potentially reversing the judgment altogether.
The decision of the appeals court is still pending.
Digging in her heels, James is refusing to drop the case, saying she is waiting for a decision on Trump’s appeal, and claimed that waiting for that decision on the civil matter “does not in any way affect Trump’s ability to serve as president.”
James literally ran for the position of attorney general on the campaign promise that she would “get Trump.”
Back in February, Vivek Ramaswamy had commented on a video montage of James raging against Trump while she was campaigning for office.
“Every American should watch this video of Letitia James, in her own words. This is third-world stuff. Our country is done if these are the kinds of people in charge of making prosecutorial decisions,” Ramaswamy wrote.

After Trump won the presidential election last month, James made a public announcement and delivered a menacing threat to continue going after Trump during his next term in the Oval Office.
How do New Yorkers deal with this bitch?? Letitia James is a straight up Marxist. Instead of focusing on building New York back up, she’s preparing to fight Trump again. Democrats are the reason this country can’t move forward. pic.twitter.com/2W96ZHQIMp
