CNN’s Anderson Cooper criticized New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday for threatening to sue President Donald Trump following her 2018 election victory.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper acknowledged that it was « not a great look » for New York Attorney General Letitia James to threaten to sue President Donald Trump after she was elected in 2018.
« According to PolitiFact, the day after she was elected in 2018, Letitia James was asked by a community activist if she was going to sue President Trump. And she replied, quote, ‘Oh, we’re going to definitely sue him. We’re going to be a real pain in the a–. He‘s going to know my name personally,’ » Cooper recalled on Thursday.
« I mean, that’s not a great look for somebody who has just been elected, who has just been campaigning, who hasn’t even looked, I guess… deeply at any evidence », he added.
While CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin agreed that James’ 2018 comments were « inappropriate », he argued that they were typical of « how our system works.
