Attorneys representing New York Attorney General Letitia James have argued that the charges against her by the Trump administration are rooted in “outrageous government conduct” and have labeled these fraud accusations as “unconstitutional.”

The indictments were initiated by Lindsey Halligan, a relatively inexperienced prosecutor who had previously served as a personal attorney to Trump. Her role in this case has raised eyebrows given her close ties to the former president.

She made a similar ruling in James’ case.
