Attorneys General can be a mouthful, so we like to call them the “People’s Lawyers.” Let us break down what an AG actually does and the enormous impact they can have.

Virginia’s hundreds of thousands of federal workers are fearing for their jobs as Trump uses his government shutdown to fire employees en masse.

Per usual, MAGA Miyares’s allegiance to Trump means he hasn’t done a thing.

The attack on New York AG Letitia James is nothing more than political retaliation from the Trump Administration.

My office, along with 22 Democratic AGs, stands with AG James as we work to defend the rule of law and protect our democracy from those who try to undermine it.

A blue graphic with title text that says, "AG Campbell's joint statement condemning the prosecution of New York AG Letitia James" under that text is a portion of joint statement that reads "Since a New York State judge found Donald Trump liable for years of business fraud and illegal dealings in
a case led by Attorney General James, Mr. Trump has repeatedly broadcast his desire to arrest and prosecute her. Mr. Trump has now done just that—demanding an indictment of Attorney General James even though the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert resigned rather than seeking an indictment. We stand in solidarity with Attorney General James and others who have been targeted for reasons wholly antithetical to the pursuit of justice. rule of law prevails and to resist the further corrosion of our system of justice.” At the bottom left corner is AG Campbell's signature, written name, and title.

Both the DOJ and the former US Attorney found insufficient evidence for these charges, so Donald Trump appointed a US Attorney who would do whatever he wants.

The indictment of AG Tish James isn’t based on evidence, it’s based on Trump’s bruised ego.

I’m joining 22 AGs in speaking out against the political prosecution and persecution of New York Attorney General Leticia James.

We will not stand idly by while justice is upended, and this president uses the criminal legal system to pursue his personal vendettas.

Since a New York State judge found Donald Trump liable for years of business fraud and illegal dealings in a case led by Attorney General James, Mr. Trump has repeatedly broadcast his desire to arrest and prosecute her. Mr. Trump has now done just that — demanding an indictment of Attorney General James even though the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert resigned rather than seeking an indictment.

None of us, whether our states’ top legal officials or members of the public, should stand idly by while justice is upended and this president uses the criminal legal system to pursue his personal vendettas. The Trump-directed arms of the executive branch have arrested a sitting member of Congress, charged the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and criminally investigated a governor of the Federal Reserve, among other retaliatory and politically motivated pursuits. These kinds of prosecutorial abuses are the hallmarks of police states and authoritarian regimes — not America’s democracy.

We stand in solidarity with Attorney General James and others who have been targeted for reasons wholly antithetical to the pursuit of justice. We commit to doing all we can to ensure that the rule of law prevails and to resist the further corrosion of our system of justice.”

Trump is using the DOJ to intimidate Tish James, but she’s taken Donald Trump to court before and won. She won’t be bullied by a wannabe dictator.

Donald Trump is using the DOJ to target people who hold him accountable to our Constitution. We stand with AG Tish James, who is a champion for the people of New York.

Democratic AGs @democraticags.bsky.social · 3d

It's simple: the former US Attorney knew that the charges against Tish James were baseless, so Trump handpicked someone who would do whatever he wants. This is a brazen attempt by Trump to intimidate political opponents.

Acting like a dictator, Donald Trump is using the office of president to go after individuals who he sees as political enemies. This ridiculous indictment is a disgrace to the Constitution, the Department of Justice, and the office.

When career prosecutors concluded that no charges should be filed against New York AG Letitia James, Trump installed a loyalist who would file them anyway.

This disgraceful abuse of the justice system will not stand. AG James will never back down.

Thursday’s indictment of New York AG Letitia James is another shot across the bow of democracy. Pres Trump explicitly directed the DOJ to target AG James and fired the former U.S. Attorney in the District when he refused to do so. This brazen abuse of power is antithetical to our history and values.

We’re demanding AG Bondi reassert the independence of the Justice Dept and immediately end all politically motivated prosecutions.

President Trump is actively targeting those he views as his enemies, and the U.S. DOJ is blindly doing his bidding.

This should send chills down all of our spines.

This is a dark moment for the American justice system and our democracy. I have worked alongside Letitia James for seven years. She is as tough and as fair as it gets, and a leader amongst attorneys general on both sides of the aisle. I stand with her unequivocally in this moment.

The indictment of Tish James and the indictment of James Comey — both completely unsupported by any actual fact — along with Trump’s raft of unconstitutional executive orders and the deliberate humiliation of top military leaders all have one thing in common: they’re hallmarks of fascism.
