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<\/a> after she was elected in 2018.<\/p>\n

“According to PolitiFact<\/a>, 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, \u2018Oh, we\u2019re going to definitely sue him. We\u2019re going to be a real pain in the a–. He\u2018s going to know my name personally,\u2019” Cooper recalled on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“I mean, that\u2019s not a great look for somebody who has just been elected, who has just been campaigning, who hasn’t even looked, I guess\u2026 deeply at any evidence,” he added.<\/p>\n

While CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin agreed that James’ 2018 comments were “inappropriate,” he argued that they were typical of “how our system works.”<\/p>\n

“We live in a system where attorneys general and district attorneys in the United States<\/a> \u2014 unlike almost any other country \u2014 are elected officials, are politicians, so they run for office making political statements. That’s how our system works,” he told Cooper. “It’s not pretty. I don’t think it’s a great system, but there’s nothing uncommon about it.”<\/p>\n

Toobin added that just because James made “inappropriate comments” about the president doesn’t mean that she should “get indicted for fraud years later,” arguing that criminal cases are supposed to “stand or fall on their own merits.”<\/p>\n

Cooper\u2019s comments came during a broader discussion about James being indicted<\/a> on charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution by a federal grand jury on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan said James faces up to 30 years in prison per count, up to a $1 million fine on each count and forfeiture if she’s convicted.<\/p>\n

In a statement, James said the charges were part of President Donald Trump’s effort to impose “political retribution at any cost.”<\/p>\n

“His decision to fire a United States Attorney who refused to bring charges against me \u2014 and replace them with someone who is blindly loyal not to the law, but to the president \u2014 is antithetical to the bedrock principles of our country,” James said. “This is the time for leaders on both sides of the aisle to speak out against this blatant perversion of our system of justice.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the Justice Department opened an investigation<\/a> into James for alleged mortgage fraud after James successfully won a civil case last year against Trump and his Trump Organization over allegations of faulty business practices.<\/p>\n

Although James won the civil case against Trump, an appellate court in New York threw out the $500 million civil fraud penalty against the president in late August.<\/p>\n

The New York Appellate Division overturned the penalty after ruling the disgorgement was an excessive fine that violated the Eighth Amendment.<\/p>\n
