A federal judge has dismissed charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James, a case that Connecticut Attorney General William Tong described as an abuse of prosecutorial power.
“This case was a chilling abuse of prosecutorial power, and its dismissal is a victory for the rule of law and our justice system. Donald Trump sought to commandeer the justice system to bully and silence one of his most formidable opponents. This is a humiliating defeat for Donald Trump and his hand-picked legal team. This was wrong, and if they have any respect for our justice system and our democracy this embarrassing vendetta will end now,” said Attorney General Tong.
The dismissal comes after criticism that the indictment was politically motivated, targeting James following her office’s investigations into former President Donald Trump’s business dealings.
