‘AG Letitia James’ conduct not only constitutes a breach of her professional responsibilities but risks irreparable harm to the public’s already eroding trust in our legal institutions. I urge the Attorney Grievance Committee to immediately conduct a thorough investigation and take appropriate disciplinary action, including the immediate interim suspension, disbarment, or suspension of Attorney General James, to uphold the integrity of our legal profession and ensure justice is served impartially.’ – Elise Stefanik
Stefanik calls for NY AG James to be suspended or disbarred over Trump civil fraud case – Washington Times
In a recent development, Representative Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, has lodged an official bar complaint against New York Attorney General Letitia James. This move comes in response to Ms. James’s involvement in a high-profile, multimillion-dollar civil fraud case against the former president, with a judge expected to deliver a ruling imminently.

Ms. Stefanik, in a strongly-worded statement, criticized Ms. James’s conduct as “nothing short of shameful,” alleging explicit bias demonstrated through inappropriate public comments. The complaint highlights over 50 instances of highly prejudicial comments made by Ms. James on social media during the trial’s first five weeks, which began in October 2023.
Emphasizing the unique role of state attorneys as officers of the court, Ms. Stefanik contends that they are held to a higher standard, despite Americans having the First Amendment right to express opinions. She has called upon the New York Attorney Grievance Committee to investigate Ms. James and consider temporary suspension, permanent suspension, or disbarment.

The civil fraud case, presided over by New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, has raised the stakes by proposing penalties such as a $370 million disgorgement of Trump Organization and a permanent ban on President Trump conducting business in New York.
Notably, in November, Ms. Stefanik also filed a judicial ethics complaint against Justice Engoron, accusing him of bias based on comments and a gag order directed at President Trump.
The rules of professional conduct for New York attorneys stress the importance of upholding public confidence in the legal process and promoting access to the legal system. It prohibits lawyers from engaging in conduct that adversely reflects on their fitness as legal professionals. Ms. Stefanik’s complaint cites these rules to underscore the gravity of Ms. James’s alleged misconduct.

During the trial, Ms. James made multiple public speeches and media statements accusing President Trump of repeated lies and using fraud to benefit his family. Infographics on the X platform further promoted the fraud case under the caption “Donald Trump’s art of the steal.” Ms. Stefanik contends that Ms. James pursued the case as a “personal vendetta” stemming from her opposition to President Trump since his inauguration.
Ms. James’s history of targeting President Trump dates back to before she assumed the role of Attorney General. Quotes from Ms. James indicate her active involvement in the “resistance” movement against President Trump, including leading “die-in” protests during his first year in office.

The complaint suggests that Ms. James’s bias is evident in her fundraising efforts, where she sought donor support for her “fight against Donald Trump.” Ms. Stefanik argues that, given this clear bias, Ms. James should have distanced herself from any official action involving President Trump.
The complaint further alleges that Ms. James launched investigations and lawsuits against President Trump, his family, and his businesses despite her evident bias. Ms. James is accused of prejudging evidence she had not seen and calling for criminal indictments on that basis.

Notably, criticism of Ms. James’s conduct extends beyond Republican circles, with Democrats expressing concerns. Representative Daniel Goldman (D-N.Y.), who led the impeachment proceedings against President Trump, voiced apprehension over Ms. James’s conduct, calling it “an individualized vendetta.” Former DEA acting administrator Chuck Rosenberg argued in two articles on Lawfare Media that Ms. James should recuse herself from cases involving President Trump due to her public comments demonstrating “prejudgment of the facts and a political predisposition.”
As the bar complaint against Ms. James unfolds, it adds another layer to the complex legal saga surrounding the civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump.
Elise is at the top of the list as VP contenders. She is becoming more and more vocal in her support of President Trump, which might very well be a hint to us all as to if Trump has already chosen her as his VP.
