Mamdani is poking the bear.

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is publicly defending Letitia James, the embattled New York Attorney General now facing a federal indictment after years of targeting President Donald J. Trump.

The charges—bank fraud and false statements—were filed by a newly appointed Trump-era prosecutor, thrusting James into the same legal spotlight she once directed toward Trump. The case has reignited nationwide debate over the weaponization of the justice system, double standards in Washington, and the growing politicization of law enforcement under Democrat leadership.


⚖️ From Trump Prosecutor to Defendant

Letitia James, once hailed by the Left for her 2023 civil fraud case against Trump, is now accused of lying on a 2020 mortgage application to secure better loan terms for a Virginia property she allegedly rented out.

Federal prosecutors claim she misrepresented her residency on the loan documents. If convicted, she faces up to 30 years in prison and $1 million in fines per count—a stunning fall from grace for a woman who once vowed to “hold Trump accountable.”


🗽 Mamdani Rallies Behind the Indicted AG

Instead of condemning alleged corruption, Democrat mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with James.

Speaking to CNN, Mamdani claimed James told him, “Don’t worry about me.” He went on to portray her as a “champion for the people”—and accused Trump of “persecuting” her out of revenge.

“She’s being targeted because she held Trump to the same law as everyone else,” Mamdani said. “What we’re witnessing is the weaponization of justice.”

On social media, Mamdani echoed those claims, accusing Trump of using “fascist tactics” and “attacking democracy.”


🔥 Conservatives Say It’s About Time

Republicans see things differently. To them, this isn’t political—it’s accountability long overdue.

Scott Jennings, former adviser to President George W. Bush, fired back on X (formerly Twitter):

“When powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of hard-working Americans.”

Jennings reminded readers that James used that same quote to attack Trump during her 2023 case. “There was no outrage from Democrats when she politically prosecuted Trump—but now that the shoe is on the other foot, it’s suddenly a crisis,” he added.


⚔️ Trump’s Team Pushes for Equal Justice

The prosecution was initiated by Lindsey Halligan, recently tapped by President Trump to serve as interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Supporters argue the action delivers a clear signal that justice applies equally to everyone—regardless of status or political ties.

Democrats, however, are crying foul. James’ attorney Abbe Lowell called the indictment “a serious attack on the rule of law” and claimed the charges were politically motivated.


High-Stakes Showdown Ahead

Letitia James is scheduled to be arraigned on October 24, a date that could reshape the national conversation on justice, fairness, and political retribution.

If convicted, her downfall would mark one of the most dramatic reversals in modern political history—and a defining moment for Trump’s push to restore faith in America’s justice system.

For millions of Americans, the message is simple: Justice should never depend on politics—and now, the system may finally be balancing the scales.
