The Justice Department has opened an investigation into one of President Trump’s longtime adversaries, Attorney General Letitia James of New York, examining whether her office violated his civil rights in its successful fraud suit against him, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
The acting U.S. attorney in Albany sent Ms. James’s office two subpoenas, one of which was related to the civil fraud case, which led to Mr. Trump being penalized more than half a billion dollars.
The second subpoena is related to the office’s long-running case against the National Rifle Association, the people said.Ms. James sued the organization in 2020, winning the ouster of its longtime leader, Wayne LaPierre, and sharply diminishing its power.
Two of the people familiar with the matter said that the new subpoenas were part of a broader investigation to determine whether the office violated Mr. Trump’s rights or those of others. It is a highly unusual use of a civil rights law more typically used to investigate potential racial, religious or sex discrimination, among other categories.
The inquiry also appears to be an extraordinary example of federal intervention in state proceedings and another battle in Mr. Trump’s escalating campaign against his nemeses. Ms. James has been one of Trump’s fiercest opponents since she first ran for attorney general in 2018, and his Justice Department has already opened a separate investigation into her personal real estate transactions.
The enmity between Mr. Trump and Ms. James is longstanding. In 2022, she sued him, accusing him of overvaluing his assets by billions of dollars. Mr. Trump lost and was penalized with the fine, which has since grown to more than half a billion dollars with interest. The case is on appeal.
Ms. James’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, on Friday called any investigation into Mr. Trump’s fraud case “the most blatant and desperate example of this administration carrying out the president’s political retribution campaign…
