New York attorney general claps back after Trump attacks her on Twitter: 'My name is Letitia James'

Her name is Letitia James

New York Attorney General Letitia James opened an investigation into some of Donald Trump’s dubious loans on a variety of projects this past March. It’s the kind of thing that a state attorney general is supposed to investigate. However, Trump only likes attorneys general that are interested more in kissing rings than in justice, such as William Barr. On Tuesday, possibly having received a reminder from one of his lawyers that there are continuing investigations taking place into his crookery, Trump went to his favorite microphone—Twitter.

Sorry for not responding to your tweet earlier, Mr. President. We were a little busy standing up for the true values of our nation, and fighting for liberty & justice for all.

We’re glad the #2020Census will begin printing without a citizenship question.

Enjoy your 4th of July. https://t.co/crdD3xOY2z

James also responded to an earlier attack Trump had made on her the previous day.  

It is very hard and expensive to live in New York. Governor Andrew Cuomo uses his Attorney General as a bludgeoning tool for his own purposes. They sue on everything, always in search of a crime. I even got sued on a Foundation which took Zero rent & expenses & gave away...

As the elected AG of NY, I have a sworn duty to protect & uphold state law. My office will follow the facts of any case, wherever they lead.

Make no mistake: No one is above the law, not even the President.

P.S. My name is Letitia James. (You can call me Tish.) https://t.co/GXkZ2QVWqE

Attorney General Letitia James isn’t a wilting flower like Donald Trump or Jeff Sessions or William Barr or Lindsey Graham or Mitch McConnell or Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio or ...
