Overview

• Trump called Letitia James “scum” and demanded she be removed from office in a new Truth Social post.
• He claimed she has cost New York “hundreds of billions of dollars,” saying companies would avoid moving to the state and would steer IPOs away from the NYSE and Nasdaq.
• He pointed to the newly approved Texas Stock Exchange, asserting it will take “hundreds of billions” in listings from New York after receiving SEC approval to be headquartered in Dallas.
• He shared a screenshot of a Fox News report alleging Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plan to shutter New York offices because of James; her office did not respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
• James and Trump have clashed for years over her civil fraud case against him, a penalty that an appeals court later threw out, while federal prosecutors have issued subpoenas to her office and the Justice Department has accused her of mortgage fraud.
