CNN’s Tapper on Tish James Indictment: ‘The Justice Department Indicted Yet Another One of President Trump‘s Perceived Political Opponents’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “Welcome to The Lead, I‘m Jake Tapper. And we start with some shocking breaking news in our law and justice lead. Just moments ago, two sources telling CNN that the Justice Department indicted yet another one of President Trump‘s perceived political opponents. This time, it was New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James. She was charged in a federal court in a grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, today. You will remember, James brought civil fraud charges alleging financial fraud against Trump and his adult sons and his real estate business in New York back in 2022. A judge found them liable and ordered a $355 million fine, which Trump appealed, and this obviously comes in the context of President Trump demanding that the Eastern District of Virginia, the U.S. Attorney there, carry out orders to go after his political opponents.”
