Letitia James' "tactical error" in Trump trial and the question of fraud
Former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Rebecca Roiphe criticized New York Attorney General Letitia James for publicly condemning former President Trump during his civil fraud trial, calling it a "tactical error." Roiphe argued that James should have remained silent and allowed Trump to open himself up to criticism, rather than engaging in a public back-and-forth. James had accused Trump of using the trial as a "political stunt" and vowed to hold him accountable for fraud.
