""We see powerful voices trying to silence truth, punish dissent − and, yes, weaponize justice for political gain,""
""We are witnessing the fraying of our democracy, the erosion of our system of government,""
""This, my friends, is a defining moment in our history. Let us stand together to defend our rights, to protect every safeguard, every institution, every immigrant, every norm, and every rule of law.""
Letitia James addressed a 3,200-person rally for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani four days after a federal grand jury indicted her on charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution. The Manhattan theater audience gave her a minute-long standing ovation and repeated applause as she accused powerful forces of trying to silence truth and weaponize justice. James warned of the fraying of democracy and urged collective defense of rights, institutions, immigrants, norms, and the rule of law. The report notes her prior successful lawsuit against Donald Trump, the subsequent appeals-court ruling that tossed the financial penalty, and her office’s ongoing appeal.
