Saratoga N.Y. - Today, House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement on reports of a grand jury investigation into New York AG Tish James:
"Corrupt New York Attorney General Tish James weaponized the New York Attorney General's office to persecute President Trump. As James famously said, “No one is above the law.” That standard also applies to her. She is going to find out how true her own words are now that the DOJ opened a grand jury investigation into her abuse of power.
I’ve led the charge against James' weaponization and illegal abuse of her office to target President Trump and other political opponents. Last year, I filed a bar complaint with the New York State Committee on Professional Standards, detailing how she violated ethical rules during her biased investigation and prosecution of Trump. In addition, I recently exposed how Governor Kathy Hochul and NY Democrats secretly inserted language into the state budget to cover James’ legal expenses with taxpayer money. This abuse of power is an insult to New Yorkers already struggling with high taxes.
The DOJ's investigation into Letitia James is a vital step toward justice. I will continue to fight to expose NY corruption, protect constitutional rights, and hold these failed Democrat leaders in NY accountable."
