Trump ally floated as possible AG has a stark warning for Letitia James

Mike Davis, a close ally of newly elected President Donald Trump, had some harsh words for New York Attorney General Letitia James during an appearance on “The Benny Show” podcast on Thursday.

“Let me just say this to Big Tish James, the Attorney General of New York… I challenge you to continue your legal practice against President Trump in his second term,” the Article III Project founder said. “Because listen, honey, we’re not going to mess around this time. And we will put your fat… in jail for conspiracy against rights, and I promise you that.”

Davis warned James to “think long and hard before violating President Trump’s constitutional rights or the constitutional rights of other Americans.”

“It won’t happen again,” Davis said.

James ordered Trump to post $454 million in bail earlier this year as part of a civil fraud case against the former commander in chief. The New York AG accused Trump of overinflating the value of his assets to get better loans.

Trump later appealed the ruling. His lawyers called New York Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling “draconian, unlawful and unconstitutional.”

Following Trump’s election victory on Tuesday, James and New York Governor Kathy Hochul vowed to fight back against any potential “revenge or retaliation” that could come their way as President-elect Trump returns to the White House.

In his interview with Johnson, Davis also took aim at Fulton County Attorney General Fani Willis, who filed charges against Trump over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

“(Fani Willis) will be disqualified from this case. This case will go to another district attorney in Georgia and no one in their right mind would bring this case again because it is not a crime to object to a presidential election,” Davis said.

Willis, a Democrat, won her bid for re-election on Tuesday, defeating Republican challenger Courtney Kramer.

Willis made headlines just a month into her term, announcing in February 2021 that she was investigating whether Trump and others broke laws while trying to overturn his narrow loss in the state to Biden.

The case is largely on hold while Trump and other defendants appeal a judge’s ruling, allowing Willis to continue prosecuting the case.
