Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, addressed the media in a press conference on September 21, 2022. The topic of discussion was the financial fraud case involving former President Donald Trump and his family.

President-elect Donald Trump would like New York Attorney General Letitia James to drop the civil fraud case against him, his adult sons, and his namesake business empire in the Empire State.

In a four-page letter sent Wednesday, attorney D. John Sauer — the likely next solicitor general — framed the request as a potential fig leaf the Democratic Party prosecutor might offer the 45th and 47th president.

“In the aftermath of his historic election victory, President Trump has called for our Nation’s partisan strife to end, and for the contending factions to join forces for the greater good of the country,” the letter begins. “This call for unity extends to the legal onslaught against him and his family that permeated the most recent election cycle.”
