Social Media Posts Inflate Net Worth of N.Y. Attorney General
Facts And Fact Checking,Social Media,Letitia James
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who won a civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump, has a net worth of about $2.7 million, her most recent financial disclosure statement shows. But social media posts baselessly claim she’s worth $15 million. The claim appears to come from a website that says it “cannot guarantee its accuracy.”
Letitia James, New York state’s attorney general, has a personal net worth of about $2.7 million, according to her most recent financial disclosure statement, an accounting required of all state officers and employees whose annual salary exceeds $108,638.
But some partisan social media accounts claim she has a personal net worth of $15 million, which they suggest may indicate that she is guilty of “fraud.”
In February, James won a judgment of more than $450 million in a civil fraud case she had brought against former President Donald Trump and his organization.
