Attorney General Letitia James 888888888

Where was law enforcement? New York state was dismissive of concerns about the Clintons. The New York attorney general in 2016, Eric Schneiderman, forced the Trump Foundation to cease fundraising activities while he investigated, but rejected an investigation of the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton Foundation issues were “ministerial, routine stuff” and the organization was “properly registered and properly filed,” he said. Schneiderman resigned as attorney general in 2018 following shocking allegations of physical abuse from four women. The Department of Justice was equally incurious when it came to the Clinton Foundation. An October 2016 FBI probe appears to have sputtered out. Reportedly, senior Justice Department officials in 2016 refused FBI requests to issue subpoenas on Clinton Foundation issues. And while news surfaced in 2018 about a new FBI probe into the foundation, there has been no indication it is going anywhere. In New York, a new attorney general promises to make destroying Mr. Trump her life’s work. “I will be shining a bright light into every dark corner of his real estate dealings, and every dealing, demanding truthfulness at every turn,” declared newly elected New York State Attorney General Letitia James in November. Later, she told NBC that her office “will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family.”
