MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos cautioned Friday that New York Attorney General Letitia James should be concerned about the Department of Justice’s reported investigation into whether she violated President Donald Trump’s civil rights through her lawsuit against him.
According to The New York Times, the acting U.S. attorney for the Northern District of New York has issued subpoenas related to James’ civil fraud case against Trump and his company, as well as her case against the National Rifle Association (NRA). Speaking on Chris Jansing Reports, Cevallos noted that investigators could uncover unrelated incriminating evidence against James in the course of their probe.
“There is nothing scarier for a citizen [than] to get a subpoena or find out that they’re being investigated by a federal criminal grand jury. It’s terrifying. And here’s why: Grand jury investigations sweep broadly,” Cevallos said.
