Letitia James

On Monday, CBS News reported that a one-time executive assistant for former President Donald Trump has contradicted a key point he made in a sworn affidavit during his response to civil allegations in New York.

"Rhona Graff, who worked for years as executive assistant to Donald Trump, 'cast doubt on the completeness of' a sworn affidavit submitted by Trump in May in an effort to clear a judge's finding of contempt, according to a Monday filing by the New York Attorney General's Office," reported Graham Kates.

On Friday, Business Insider revealed that former President Donald Trump is claiming in court that he is unable to produce 12 former executive assistants who worked for the Trump Organization whose testimony is being requested by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The reason, Trump's legal team claims, is that these people will not return the former president's calls.

Attorney General Letitia James announced on Thursday that her office had found Verizon spread Legionnaires' disease in New York.

"An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) found that since 2017, there were at least 225 alleged violations of city and state laws at 45 of Verizon’s cooling tower locations throughout the state, with the company failing to conduct testing, address positive test results, and clean and inspect the cooling towers by required deadlines," James' office announced.

Sixteen months into Joe Biden’s presidency — 17 come June 20 — former President Donald Trump continues to be subject of multiple investigations, from New York State Attorney General Letitia James to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 select committee to Fulton County, Georgia DA Fani Willis. Trump has been angrily railing against Willis a lot recently, which according to Vanity Fair’s Bess Levin, shows that her investigation of his activities in Georgia following the 2020 election is really getting to him.

“Is Trump actually in legal peril? If his history is anything to go by, it’s hard to say yes, overwhelming evidence notwithstanding,” Levin writes in her May 30 column. “But he sure seems upset about Willis’ work, having bleated on Truth Social over the weekend: ‘The young, ambitious, Radical Left Democrat ‘Prosecutor’ from Georgia, who is presiding over one of the most Crime Ridden and Corrupt places in the USA, Fulton County, has put together a Grand Jury to investigate an absolutely ‘PERFECT’ phone call to the Secretary of State. Many lawyers, from both sides, were knowingly on the call. I also assumed it was taped. I called to fight a Rigged & Stolen Election, and they go after me instead of the people that Rigged and Stole it. God Bless America!’”

Former President Donald Trump has filed papers in court as part of his ongoing effort to avoid testifying in an investigation of his business practices in New York.

The former president filed papers U.S. District Court in Albany in response to a ruling Friday by Judge Brenda K. Sannes, who dismissed Trump's effort to fight a subpoena issued by New York attorney general Letitia James, reported Insider.

On Monday, gun policy journalist Stephen Gutowski reported that far-right activist Allen West's bid to unseat Wayne LaPierre as the National Rifle Association's executive vice president has flamed out spectacularly.

According to Gutowski, West, himself a board member of the NRA, got only a single vote at the board meeting, with 54 members voting to retain LaPierre and 7 members abstaining.

Former President Donald Trump has lost in court -- again.

The Associated Press is reporting that a federal judge has thrown out the twice-impeached former one-term president's lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James that was aimed at ending her civil investigation into the Trump Organization's business practices.

Donald Trump's extensive history of business failures was documented in new legal filings by his new business partners.

"Donald Trump’s business history has been so filled with disastrous ventures that it’s been hard to keep track of them all," wrote Los Angeles Times business columnist Michael Hiltzik. "No longer. Digital World Acquisition Corp., which is the special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, taking Trump’s 'Truth Social' media platform public, has conveniently listed them in a document it is required to file publicly before selling stock. DWAC is aiming to raise at least $875 million."

New York Attorney General Letitia James has opened an investigation into social media companies in the wake the mass shooting in Buffalo carried out by a white supremacist Payton Gendron, Axios reports.

The investigation will look into online resources the shooter reportedly used to develop and plan his attack that killed 10 and wounded three. The platforms targeted by the investigation include Twitch, 4chan, 8chan and Discord.
