New York Republicans say Attorney General Letitia James' vendetta against former President Donald Trump is further proof that Democrats have turned the state's courts into a political retribution machine.

Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump speaks at the National Rifle Association’s Presidential Forum in Harrisburg, Pa., Friday, Feb. 9, 2024. New York Republicans say Attorney General Letitia James’ vendetta against former President Donald Trump is further proof that Democrats have turned the state’s courts into a political retribution machine.

“Say you’re producing propane for people in Upstate New York and they decide they didn’t like you. Are they going to prosecute you and put up a bond that you can’t pay and run you out of business?” Beef producer JBS and gun-rights outfit National Rifle Association are two examples of organizations that critics say were put through the legal wringer in New York for political reasons.

Former New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey recently wrote in an opinion article that the JBS lawsuit is yet another example of Ms. James using the state’s “legal apparatus to punish individuals and industries unpopular with the left.” In an amicus brief, sixteen Republican attorneys general said Ms. James’ attempt to dissolve the NRA revealed that her lawsuit was not about protecting NRA members but crushing their First Amendment rights.
