- New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has appointed State Attorney General Letitia James to lead the investigation into the alleged gang-rape of a woman at Cornell University.
- President Donald Trump criticized the appointment, labelling James a "totally corrupt" person who would not give the seven accused men a "fair shake.”
- Speaking to reporters at the White House before departing for Alabama, Trump stated he felt "badly" for anyone under investigation by James.
- "Well, Letitia James is a corrupt person. She's totally corrupt and I can't imagine it, I feel badly for whoever she's looking at because she won't get a fair shake,” said Trump.
- Letitia James previously successfully prosecuted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in New York prior to his 2024 re-election.
