     #NYAG #LeticiaJames has joined attorneys general from other states in challenging #Trump's second-term agenda. After Trump's first term in office, she brought a #civil #fraud lawsuit against him that resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties.

     Trump has repeatedly called for the prosecution of James & New York State Justice Arthur #Engoron, the judge who oversaw that case.

     In a stmnt, James' lawyer Abbe Lowell called the allegations "baseless & long-discredited."
