Just hours after the one-count indictment of bank fraud against Black New York Attorney General Tish James, Black women are coming together to stand against Donald Trump and his ongoing attacks on them. Several groups, including the NAACP, are standing in support of James for doing her job, which involves trying to prosecute alleged unlawful acts by the president.
House Minority Leader, New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, said James has “courageously been at the forefront of successfully challenging the Trump administration’s lawless and deeply unpopular overreach.”

Jefferies acknowledged she was “guided by the constitution.”
In recent weeks, President Trump mistakenly leaked on Truth Social a text message to the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, demanding that she charge James, along with former FBI head James Comey.
The indictment marks the second time in a matter of weeks that the Justice Department has secured charges against one of President Trump’s longtime adversaries. James B. Comey, the former FBI director, was indicted late last month, after an investigation by the exact U.S. attorney’s office that pursued James.
Former White House aide Lindsey Halligan, who has no prosecutorial experience, is also the same woman who began the Trump administration’s effort to dismantle the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Later this month, James is expected in court in Norfolk, Virginia, to face the charge. (BlackPressUSA)
