Former President Donald Trump has consistently criticized the civil fraud lawsuit filed against him by New York Attorney General Leticia James, alleging that it is a politically motivated attack.
A video montage released by Citizen Free Press features James making statements that seemingly confirm Trump’s claims, with her referring to him as “an illegitimate president.”
This footage fuels Trump’s argument that the lawsuit is driven by political vendettas rather than legitimate legal concerns.
The contentious relationship between Trump and James continues to escalate as each side accuses the other of ulterior motives in their legal battles.
The video montage serves as evidence in the ongoing dispute between the former president and the attorney general, further intensifying the already heated controversy surrounding the case.
The video begins with a clip of James saying, “The president of the United States has complained that I’m engaging in some sort of political witch hunt.”
“That I’ve got some personal vendetta against him. That I campaign against him,” the New York attorney general continued before adding, “That is not true.”
The video transitions to James confidently stating in an interview that Trump is an “illegitimate president occupying the White House.”
In a separate clip, James passionately repeats this sentiment at a political rally, emphatically declaring that Trump’s presidency is limited.
In a third clip, James can be seen addressing another rally where she declares, “We’ve got to get ready to mobilize and we’ve got to get ready to agitate and irritate until victory is won, but more importantly, until Trump is defeated.”
In yet another clip, James tells supporters that she intends to give Trump “the same level of respect” he gave to former President Barack Obama before adding, “And that is absolutely no respect at all.”
A final clip features James standing with a megaphone and encouraging members of a crowd to chant “Lock him up!” and “Donald Trump has got to go!”

On Friday, Fox News reported that James filed a 26-page document requesting the court to invalidate the $175 million bond posted by Trump for his appeal of the civil fraud judgment.
The state attorney general contended that Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC), based in California, does not have authorization to operate in New York and lacks a substantial policyholder surplus.
“Based on KSIC’s policyholder surplus in its most recent annual financial statement of $138,441,671, the limitation of loss on any one risk that KSIC is permitted to write is $13.8 million,” she wrote.
However, Fox News reported on Monday that a judge decided to uphold KSIC’s bond, enabling Trump to proceed with his appeal.
