Attorney General Tong Statement on Dismissal of Sham Indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James
(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong released the following statement regarding dismissal by a federal judge of sham charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James.“This case was a chilling abuse of prosecutorial power, and its dismissal is a victory for the rule of law and our justice system. Donald Trump sought to commandeer the justice system to bully and silence one of his most formidable opponents. This is a humiliating defeat for Donald Trump and his hand-picked legal team. This was wrong, and if they have any respect for our justice system and our democracy this embarrassing vendetta will end now,” said Attorney General Tong.
