A social media storm has erupted over resurfaced posts by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who in February 2024 published a tweet asserting that “no one is above the law” — just months before she faces federal charges.
The renewed attention follows her indictment on mortgage fraud and false statements charges tied to a Virginia property purchase. Critics have seized on her past statements, accusing her of hypocrisy in light of the allegations.
Her defenders argue the tweet reflected a general legal principle, not a preview of her own circumstances. Meanwhile, her critics say the timing and content of the posts now carry sharper significance amid the legal scrutiny.
