Docs Showing Letitia James' Residence Could Be Legal 'Problem' for AG

Newly discovered documents alluding to the residence of New York Attorney General Letitia James could have potential legal ramifications, legal experts tell Newsweek.

Newsweek reached out to James' office, New York Governor Kathy Hochul's office, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) for comment.

Why It Matters

James, 66, has served as New York's attorney general since 2019. The Democrat is the first African American and first woman to be elected to that position in state history.

She has gained notoriety in her various legal battles against President Donald Trump and his family, notably a New York judge's ruling in 2024 ordering then-former President Trump to pay a $454 million civil fraud judgment after James sued him for falsely inflating the value of his property.
