President Donald Trump has endorsed a challenger to New York’s state attorney general, Letitia James, whose massive state fraud lawsuit against the president resulted in a penalty from a leftist judge of nearly $500 million, which immediately was tossed out on appeal.
“Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James, is considered by many to be the WORST Attorney General in our Country. She is a Complete and Total Disaster, who tried running against Kathy Hochul for Governor, and got less than 1% of the Vote in the Polls, and QUIT, taking many innocent suckers down with her,” the president explained.
“She then went back to her WITCH HUNT against your favorite President, (ME!), and others, yet Murder and other Violent Crime is RAGING OUT OF CONTROL in New York, as People and Businesses flee, in Record Numbers, to other States!”
A report from Fox said Trump’s endorsement went to Republican Saritha Komatireddy.
“It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, Saritha Komatireddy, who is running to be the next Attorney General of the once wonderful State of New York,” Trump wrote in a Friday Truth Social post. “Between Kathy Hochul and the Most Corrupt Attorney General in the Country, Letitia James, it has gone to HELL!”
Trump continues to press for James to be prosecuted over alleged mortgage fraud, in which she is accused of submitting false information to authorities in order to obtain better mortgage rates on her properties.
James had claimed that Trump and his company inflated the value of assets on his documents to get loans. He was convicted and fined by a leftist judge with links to Trump-hating individuals, despite the courtroom testimony from those involved in Trump’s dealings who confirmed all the loans were repaid, they were pleased with the results and would choose to do business with him again.
Trump throws his “complete and total endorsement” behind Republican Saritha Komatireddy to unseat New York AG Letitia James — calling James the “Most Corrupt Attorney General in the Country” and branding her “Peekaboo” in a blistering Truth Social post.

Trump noted Komatireddy was a Drug Enforcement Administration chief of staff, a former federal prosecutor, and a clerk for Brett Kavanaugh, who went on to become a Supreme Court justice.
Trump said she will “fight tirelessly to Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Grow our Economy, Champion our Law Enforcement and First Responders, Support our Military/Veterans, Advance Election Integrity, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Uphold our Constitution, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.”
James, who originally campaigned for office on the promise to “get” President Trump, of late has been in a fight with the federal government over access to state drivers’ records, which the federal government wants to use to crack down on illegal aliens with commercial drivers’ licenses, as a number of those individuals have caused accidents that killed American citizens.
