Legal Analyst Gregg Jarrett on FBI Raid of John Bolton and NY AG Letitia James's Case Against Trump

Legal Peril for John Bolton

• 💡 John Bolton faces potential criminal prosecution for publishing his tell-all book without final government approval.
• ⚠️ A federal judge previously warned Bolton that he was "gambling with the national security" and could face prosecution.
• 🔑 Bolton remains in legal jeopardy if he retained classified documents at his home or office, or if he leaked information to unauthorized individuals.
• 🔍 The FBI obtained a search warrant based on probable cause that evidence of a crime was present in Bolton's home or office.

Letitia James's Case Against Trump

• 🎯 The Washington Post editorial board criticized New York Attorney General Letitia James for "lawfare bias and selective prosecution."
• ⚖️ An appeals court tossed out James's $465 million civil fraud fine against Trump, calling it "outrageously excessive and unconstitutional."
• 📉 Two of five judges would have sent the case back for a new trial due to serious errors, and a third judge would have dismissed it entirely.
• 💰 The court found the penalty was "wholly disconnected" from the alleged wrongs and violated the Eighth Amendment.
• 🏦 Banks involved testified they were not defrauded and found Trump's valuations accurate, indicating the case was "classic political lawfare."

Letitia James's Campaign Promises

• 🗣️ A campaign clip shows Letitia James explicitly promising to "sue him" (Trump) and be "a real pain in his He's going to know my name personally."
• 🚫 This pre-ordained targeting of an individual is considered highly unethical conduct for an attorney general.
• 🎭 James is accused of representing herself and the Democratic party rather than the people of New York State, potentially warranting disbarment.
