Trump endorses Letitia James' rival for NY Attorney General
Key Points:
- Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Republican Saritha Komatireddy in her bid to unseat New York Attorney General Letitia James, criticizing James as "the worst Attorney General" and accusing her of corruption and ineffective crime policies.
- Trump highlighted Komatireddy’s credentials, including her roles as DEA chief of staff, federal prosecutor, and clerk for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, positioning her as a candidate who will prioritize law and order and constitutional rights.
- The endorsement intensifies the ongoing feud between Trump and James, who previously sued Trump and The Trump Organization for allegedly inflating asset values, a case that led to a $465 million penalty later overturned on constitutional grounds.
- Komatireddy expressed gratitude for Trump’s support and emphasized her commitment to winning the election and challenging James’ record on fraud investigations.
- Letitia James’ campaign has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding Trump’s endorsement of Komatireddy.
