President Donald Trump blasted his political foe, Attorney General Letitia James, as “scum” while calling for her removal from office in a scathing Truth Social post.
“Corrupt Letitia James is costing New York State Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in lost business. No company or individual wants to be there, knowing that she’s the ‘Attorney General.’ She is a Complete and Total Disaster, who tried running against Kathy Hochul for Governor, and only got 1% of the Vote in Polls, and QUIT,” he wrote Saturday.
The president then accused James of going on a “witch hunt” against him and others.
“She then went back to her WITCH HUNT against President Donald J. Trump, and others,” he continued. “Until this ‘SCUM’ is removed from the Attorney General’s Office, no company will move to New York, and few companies will be using the New York Stock Exchange, or NASDAQ, for going Public.”

Trump went on to claim that the new Texas Stock Exchange will result in “hundreds of billions of dollars” being taken away from businesses in New York.
“The new Texas Exchange will be taking ALL of this business away, and we’re talking Hundreds of Billions of Dollars!,” he added, referring to the forthcoming Texas Stock Exchange that will be headquartered in Dallas following the SEC’s approval Tuesday.
Trump coupled his scathing comments about James with a screenshot of a Fox News report that claimed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will soon shutter their New York offices due to James’ “corrupt and dangerous business practices.”
James’ office didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
Trump and James have been publicly clashing for years.
James’ office has filed multiple lawsuits against Trump and his administration, including a civil fraud case involving Trump over-valuing his properties in financial statements. Trump was ordered to pay more than $500 million, but a New York appeals court later threw out the civil fraud penalty against the political leader.
Amid Trump’s second term in the White House, the Department of Justice has brought several subpoenas against James’ office. The DOJ has also accused James of mortgage fraud.
