"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt cut off a CNN reporter during a line of questioning about New York Attorney General Letitia James (D). James and President Donald Trump have been at odds since the attorney general sued the Trump Organization for fraud. Following that case, the two have repeatedly pursued legal action against one another. Under the directive of Trump, the administration has most recently tried to go after James for alleged mortgage fraud."
"That legal challenge, however, has yet to bear fruit. Last week, Trump even fired a U.S. attorney for failing to produce evidence to support the fraud allegations. During Monday afternoon's White House briefing, CNN's Kristen Holmes pressed Leavitt about the ongoing case against James: HOLMES: Just going back to this Letitia James story: what does President Trump plan to do if the Attorney General Pam Bondi tells him that there is not enough evidence to bring his political opponents' cases"
Karoline Leavitt interrupted and cut off a CNN reporter during questioning about New York Attorney General Letitia James. James and President Donald Trump have been in repeated legal conflict since James sued the Trump Organization for fraud. The administration, under Trump's directive, pursued alleged mortgage fraud claims against James that have not produced results. Trump recently dismissed a U.S. attorney who could not produce evidence supporting those allegations. At a White House briefing Kristen Holmes asked what Trump would do if Attorney General Pam Bondi found insufficient evidence; Leavitt called the question hypothetical and said the president stands with Bondi.
