ALBANY – NYGOP Chair Ed Cox released the following statement in response to Attorney General Letitia James indictment on mortgage fraud:

“Letitia James is unfit for an office with the power to dispense impartial justice. She campaigned for the office promising to punish former president Trump and in office she pursued partisan lawfare against Trump with the unique use of an unconstitutional and rarely used law. The case is now on appeal. 

“If she has an ounce of integrity, she will delegate her official duties to a deputy while on trial. If convicted, New York law requires that she must immediately vacate her office and justice will be served.”
