Nikki Haley Demands Biden’s DOJ Opens Investigation into New York AG Letitia James

Nikki Haley is demanding that Democrat President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) opens an investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and US ambassador to the United Nations, accuses AG James of abusing her powers in an effort to “silence conservatives.”

Haley warned that she “won’t stand for liberal intimidation from Tish James or her office.”

“The radical left is at it again,” Haley wrote in an op-ed for The New York Post.

“In the latest liberal effort to silence conservatives, the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James leaked a confidential list of my policy group’s supporters to the mainstream media.

“Now we’re asking the Department of Justice to investigate the New York AG’s office.

“If DOJ refuses, that says the Biden administration is completely fine with illegally targeting conservatives.

“This is more than just a gross violation of state and federal law — it’s a glaring sign of the left’s win-at-all-costs mentality.

“Liberals are willing to do anything to beat conservatives, and they don’t care what laws they break or whom they hurt along the way.

“James’ office is targeting Stand for America, which I founded to shine a light on failed liberal policies and promote strong conservative solutions.

“We’ve criticized New York state for the simple reason that it’s a basket case of crime, wokeness, and half-baked radical ideas.

“Now the media have New York’s copy of our tax return, bearing the AG office’s official stamp. The return has our supporters’ names and personal information.

“Federal and state law require that New York keep this information confidential.

“But it’s out in the open for all to see.

“Isn’t that convenient?

“The message is unmistakable: Criticize New York’s disastrous policies, and we’ll keep coming after you. In other words, shut up.

“It’s funny how this kind of thing only happens to conservatives.

“In fact, Letitia James has a history of pulling stunts like this.

“Before she was even elected, she made clear she’d do virtually anything to punish conservatives.

“Campaigning, she promised to charge opponents with crimes and even try to remove them from office.

“Experts publicly warned that she has “an individualized political vendetta.”

“She’s proved it ever since.

“She tried the same trick with the National Rifle Association. In what was clearly a political attempt to shut down the gun-rights organization for good, she went after the NRA’s finances.

“But even prominent liberals — including at Harvard and The Washington Post — made clear that this move was profoundly dangerous.

“Why? Because it sets a precedent of trying to destroy political opponents using government power.

“My organization is the latest target.

“We submitted a Freedom of Information Law request to James’ office,” she said.

“The department claimed it could not find a single record from any group or individual requesting our tax return.

“If that’s true, then somebody leaked it. Hence our request for DOJ to investigate.”
