Political Showdown: Laura Loomer Claims Damaging Information Against NY AG Letitia James
In the ever-intensifying world of American politics, conservative commentator Laura Loomer, a vocal ally of former President Donald Trump, has thrown a new bombshell into the mix. On Saturday, October 28, Loomer took to X, a platform owned by Elon Musk, to claim that she possesses “very damaging receipts” against one of Trump’s most prominent adversaries, New York Attorney General Letitia James. Loomer, known for her fiery rhetoric and unwavering support for Trump, hinted that these alleged documents could be devastating for James, though she stopped short of revealing any specifics or evidence to back up her claims.
Loomer’s assertion follows a long-standing feud between Trump and James, who has been a thorn in the side of the former president since launching a high-profile fraud investigation into the Trump Organization in 2023. Earlier this year, in a landmark ruling, Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump liable for falsely inflating his net worth to “unjustly enrich himself.” The 92-page ruling slapped Trump with a staggering fine of over $355 million and barred him from operating any business in New York for three years. Trump’s sons, Eric and Don Jr., as well as his former CFO Allen Weisselberg, were also fined over $4 million each for their roles in the scheme.
The ruling marked the culmination of a three-month trial in which Trump himself took the stand, along with his children, including Ivanka. The court case was just one of several legal battles Trump has faced in New York, with his total fines now exceeding $454 million. This includes a separate judgment ordering him to pay damages for defaming E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of rape. The Trump Organization has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, labeling the ruling a “gross miscarriage of justice” and accusing James of “overreach.” The organization also criticized Deutsche Bank for its alleged role in the case, claiming the bank made “hundreds of millions” from its dealings with Trump.
Loomer’s claims against James come on the heels of a post shared by another high-profile Trump ally, Roger Stone, who accused James of inflating the value of her own assets to secure mortgages. Stone’s post, which Trump re-shared on his Truth Social platform, drew direct parallels to the charges leveled against Trump, suggesting that James had engaged in the same behavior she had accused him of. However, like Loomer, Stone provided no concrete evidence to support his allegations. The DailyMail.com reached out to James’ office for comment, but no response has been reported as of yet.
The ongoing animosity between Trump and James has spilled over into other areas of their professional lives, with Trump recently revoking James’ security clearance as part of a broader crackdown on his political adversaries. This move, described as “largely symbolic” by former Trump attorney Tim Parlatore, could have practical implications for those targeted, potentially limiting their access to federal buildings and their ability to carry out official duties. Other high-profile figures affected by the clearance revocation include former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and attorneys Andrew Weissmann, Mark Zaid, and Norm Eisen.
In addition to her legal battles with Trump, James has remained a vocal critic of the former president’s policy initiatives, joining lawsuits to challenge his efforts to end birthright citizenship and freeze federal grant programs. Her office has also taken action against Trump’s allies, including blocking Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the U.S. Treasury’s payment system. As the 2024 election looms, the battle between Trump and James—two deeply entrenched opponents—shows no signs of abating. The outcome of this high-stakes political and legal war could have far-reaching implications, not only for the individuals involved but also for the broader American political landscape.
