During a recent town hall, New York Attorney General Letitia James faced accusations from an audience member claiming she committed mortgage fraud. Undeterred, she continued to criticize Trump’s administration and advocate for democracy. Over the past three years, James has positioned herself as a prominent opponent of Trump, launching numerous lawsuits against him and other actions that have curtailed some of his policy initiatives, including blocking layoffs in federal departments. Her proactive stance illustrates her commitment to holding the administration accountable even while faced with personal attacks.
The episode in Westchester last month neatly encapsulated the role Ms. James has staked out in recent years as one of Mr. Trump's chief antagonists.
Ms. James has been one of the president's nemeses since she brought a fraud lawsuit against him three years ago, leading to a half-billion-dollar penalty that Mr. Trump has appealed.
Many of the suits have successfully barred the White House from achieving its goals, at least in the short term.
In May, for instance, a judge blocked Mr. Trump from moving forward with mass layoffs that would have gutted the U.S. Department of Education.
