Letitia James Hits Back at Donald Trump's Mistrial Attempt
The New York attorney general claims that her fraud case against Trump shows the "incredible ways" he lied to enrich himself.
New York Attorney General Letitia James accused Donald Trump of trying to cover up lies by seeking a mistrial in the fraud case against him.
"Once again, Donald Trump is trying to dismiss the truth and the facts, but the numbers and evidence don't lie," she said in a statement, after Trump's lawyers filed the mistrial motion on Wednesday. "Trump is now being held accountable for the years of fraud he committed and the incredible ways he lied to enrich himself and his family. He can keep trying to distract from his fraud, but the truth always comes out."
Her lawyers are expected to announce on Thursday whether they will file a rebuttal to Trump's mistrial motion.
File a one sentence response that says, "Temper tantrums are not valid legal arguments."

The trial judge, Arthur Engoron, only briefly mentioned the motion on Wednesday, while asking James' lawyers if they planned to respond.
Trump's lawyers filed the 30-page motion on Wednesday, claiming that Judge Engoron is biased and can be seen reading notes from his clerk before making major rulings in the case.
On Nov. 2, defense attorney Kise said that Greenfield was passing notes to the judge when Trump lawyer Jesus Suarez was questioning a witness.
Engoron then barred Trump's attorneys from referring to the notes in oral arguments, but they are still free to mention them in written submissions.
