Former president aims to use federal statute to target Letitia James for alleged election interference, amidst ongoing legal battles and criticism of judicial bias.

• Former President Donald Trump plans to target New York Attorney General Letitia James if re-elected, aiming to prosecute her for allegedly interfering with the 2024 presidential election.
• Trump's legal team is considering using a federal statute that prohibits state officials from using their official authority to interfere with presidential elections, although experts deem this approach a non-starter and a potential abuse of power.
• Trump has been granted a reduction in the bond required to appeal the civil fraud penalty imposed by Judge Arthur Engoron, from $464 million to $175 million.
• Trump criticizes Judge Juan Merchan and accuses him of bias, following a gag order issued against him in relation to his comments about the judge's daughter.
• Trump is accused of attacking Letitia James and other legal adversaries as part of a broader strategy to claim election interference and undermine legal proceedings against him.
