NY City Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted by a grand jury for mortgage fraud. President Trump is still appealing the case James brought against him while Attorney General Pam Bondi prosecutes her for the same alleged violations of the law.
A Cornell Law professor, William Jacobson, summarized the irony of James now feigning victim after the charges were announced, “There are multiple levels of irony there because James ran for office, it’s on video, ran for office to be Attorney General of the State of New York, to get hold of a massive, massive attorney general bureaucracy. And she said she was doing it to get Donald Trump. She even ran an ad, which we posted many times, which she says, ‘the days of Donald Trump are coming to an end.’ Soon after she was elected, she also announced that she would use her office, his is on video, not only to get Donald Trump, but to get his family.”
Letitia James is “the last person who should be complaining about politicization of the prosecutorial function because she’s Exhibit A”

On October 13, 2025, I appeared on Chicago’s Morning Answer with Dan Proft to talk about the indictment of Letitia James and the court rulings on Trump’s deployment of the national guard. I’ve been on Dan’s show many times, and it’s always good to be back.
Proft: On the topic, we’re pleased to be joined by Professor William Jacobson. He is a clinical professor of law and director of the Securities Law Clinic at Cornell Law School, founder of legalinsurrection.com and president of the Legal Insurrection Foundation, professor Jacobson, thanks for joining us. Appreciate it.
