What goes around comes around? New York Attorney General Letitia James, who relentlessly pursued Donald Trump in a civil fraud case that resulted in a staggering $464 million judgment, might be getting a taste of her own medicine. The Trump administration isn’t pulling any punches, initiating a potential criminal prosecution against the AG herself.
Remember James? She’s the one who celebrated nailing Trump and his companies for allegedly inflating asset values, crowing about accountability while slapping him with massive fines and barring him from doing business in New York. She insisted no one was above the law. Well, it seems the feds are now asking if she held herself to that same standard.
Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte dropped a bombshell criminal referral on Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche. The charge? Mortgage fraud. Pulte alleges James falsified documents and property records to snag loans – accusations eerily similar to those she lobbed at Trump. Team James immediately cried foul, calling it politically motivated retaliation and a weaponization of the government. predictable, right?
The irony isn’t lost on conservatives. Fox News host Laura Ingraham even polled her audience, asking if James should face the same eye-watering $355 million penalty Trump was hit with. The poll followed Representative Jim Jordan floating the idea of fining James for her alleged financial funny business.

This escalating legal drama raises big questions. Was James’s pursuit of Trump a righteous quest for justice, or a politically motivated attack using the legal system? And is the Trump administration’s move against her a necessary check on power, or just tit-for-tat political warfare?
One thing’s for sure: the gloves are off. As this high-stakes battle unfolds, Americans are watching closely to see if the principle of “equal justice under law” applies to everyone, even those who wield the power of the state. Stay tuned, because this fight is far from over.
