New York Attorney General Letitia James, who gained national prominence for pursuing a fraud case against President Trump, is now in hot water of her own — and one group is calling on wealthy leftists to help.
A fundraising event scheduled for next week is soliciting donations of up to $18,000 per ticket, as the New York Post reported:
The high-dollar fundraiser will be hosted at the home of left-wing activists Rod Grozier and Rob Smith, the latter of whom is the CEO and founder of The Phluid Project, a gender-neutral clothing company.
“Letitia James is fighting for our rights every single day. This is our opportunity to show Letitia that we have her back,” the event page on lefty fundraising website ActBlue reads.
ADVERTISEMENTThe New York AG this week became the subject of a federal criminal referral over allegations she falsely claimed in official public documents in August 2023 that her “principal residence” was a home in Norfolk, Va.
James’ latest troubles have sparked significant social media attention:
Let’s Agree: The NY Post comes up with some of the BEST covers! Karma is truly coming back around on this NY AG Letitia James.

Today, following allegations of mortgage fraud against her, I have sent a letter seeking disciplinary proceedings to determine whether Letitia James is fit to hold a law license in this state.
I believe she is not and her license should be revoked. pic.twitter.com/OhJEgkvwYf— Steve McLaughlin (@SteveMcNY) April 17, 2025

For one New York City attorney, the current probe into James seems to represent a bit of karmic justice, as Fox News reported:
“To be perfectly frank, this is a retaliatory case brought by the president for what the attorney general did to him over the last several years,” New York City attorney Pierre Debbas, partner and founding member of real estate law firm Romer Debbas, told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview Thursday morning. “Both cases, quite honestly, are very weak cases.
“The attorney general’s case that was brought against Donald Trump was honestly a pure manipulation of the legal system, and it was laughable,” he continued, referring to the civil fraud case she brought against Trump. “Something that’s never taken place in the history of New York that was isolated at one particular person for a politically driven purpose.
“Now, on the flip side, this serves the same purpose, right? This is the president’s way of seeking retaliation against the attorney general for something that, in reality, is, while it’s considered mortgage fraud, it’s not criminal,” he continued. “And it’s not something that would have been brought upon had the attorney general not pursued a similar case with low merit against the president a few years back.”
