Overview
- President Trump labeled Letitia James "SCUM," accused her of a "witch hunt," and urged her removal in a weekend Truth Social post.
- He claimed her actions are driving "hundreds of billions" of dollars in business from New York and discouraging companies from using the NYSE or Nasdaq.
- Trump pointed to the SEC-approved Texas Stock Exchange, asserting it will pull vast listings and capital away from New York.
- He shared a Fox News screenshot alleging Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plan to close New York offices, using the report to criticize James' "business practices."
- James' office did not immediately comment, and the clash continues against a backdrop of DOJ subpoenas focusing on her office after years of civil litigation involving Trump.
