BURSTCharlamagne tha God said New York Attorney Letitia James is a target for the second Trump administration.
James has sued the federal government over attempts to strike birthright citizenship and dismantle nationwide agencies after previously filing a civil lawsuit against the president prior to his re-election bid.
“Donald Trump has a list, and Tish James is high on that list, as I’m sure Alvin Bragg is. Alvin Bragg been very quiet. Probably rightfully so. But, you know, we do know this is retaliation,” Charlamagne tha God said Thursday during The Breakfast Club podcast.
In April, the Federal Housing Finance Agency made a criminal referral to the Justice Department against James, accusing her of real estate fraud.
The agency alleged she listed her Virginia home as a primary residence in an effort to secure more favorable loan terms.
"This investigation into me is nothing more than retribution. It's baseless," James said of the charges, as reported by CBS.
“It has to do with the fact that on a power of attorney, I mistakenly indicated that I was a Virginia resident, but prior to that, I indicated to the mortgage broker that, in fact, in bold capital letters, that I am not a Virginia resident and never will be," she added.
Charlamagne tha God agreed noting the history of tension between the president and James.
“We do know that Tish James is absolutely correct, right?” he said.
“This is just retaliation for the charges that Tish James brought against Donald Trump.”
