New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James vowed Wednesday to fight off any attempts by President-elect Trump's administration to seek 'revenge or retribution.'
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James, who've spent years prosecuting and disparaging Donald Trump, vowed to fight back against any potential 'revenge or retribution' that may be coming their way now that President-elect Trump will be returning to the White House. Hochul offered congratulations to Trump during a press conference on Wednesday while also commending his opponent, Vice President Harris and running mate Minnesota Gov.
We did not expect this result, but we are prepared to respond to this result. And my office has been preparing for several months because we've been here before,' James said. 'We faced this challenge before, and we used the rule of law to fight back. And we are prepared to fight back once again because, as the attorney general of this great state, it is my job to protect and defend the rights of New Yorkers and the rule of law. And I will not shrink from that responsibility.
We're ready to respond to any attempts to cut or eliminate any funding to the great state of New York, as the governor outlined,' James said. 'So, despite what has happened on the national stage, we will continue to stand tall in the face of injustice, revenge or retribution.
