A former Brooklyn assistant district attorney, he recently worked on one of James\u2019 major cases: an April lawsuit accusing Coinbase and Gemini of operating illegal prediction-market gambling platforms in New York, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/press-release\/2026\/attorney-general-james-sues-coinbase-and-gemini-running-illegal-gambling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attorney general\u2019s office<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The allegations are especially explosive given James\u2019 history with Trump. During her 2018 campaign, the Democrat pledged to investigate and prosecute Trump over his New York business dealings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her office later secured a civil fraud judgment against Trump, his sons and his company. An appeals court upheld the fraud finding in 2025 but eliminated the enormous financial penalty after determining it was excessive, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.courthousenews.com\/new-york-appeals-court-tosses-trumps-500-million-civil-fraud-penalty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Courthouse News Service reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New York Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox accused James of turning her office into a \u201cpolitical hit squad,\u201d according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/08\/30\/us-news\/prosecutor-in-ag-letitia-james-office-says-he-was-ordered-to-dig-up-dirt-on-trump-allies-report\/\">New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even Melissa DeRosa, a former top aide to Democratic ex-Gov.
