‘Counting Down the Minutes’ NY Legal professional Basic Warned on Trump’s ‘Corruption’ as Quickly as He Issued 143 Pardons

New York attorney general Letitia James wasted no time condemning President Donald Trump, who issued 143 pardons and commutations less than 12 hours before the end of his term.

“We’re all counting down the minutes,” James said in a statement released within minutes of the pardon list being published. He was referring to Trump’s departure from office, but may also suggest another countdown.

“President Donald Trump started his administration with unethical behavior and will not end it any other way,” New York AG said in its statement. “The 143 pardons and commutations issued in the twilight hours of the Trump administration perfectly sum up what this lame duck president was always about: favoring those who are absolutely loyal to Donald Trump. At noon today, the Trump presidency and this national nightmare are finally over. In a few hours the rule of law will be restored and our nation will be healed from four years of abuse, corruption and hatred. We all count down the minutes. “

Last month, James issued a warning to the Trump administration to keep all President’s records.

When she took office in 2018, James promised, “We will use every section of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and those of his family.”
