A close Trump supporter issued a warning Thursday, stating that the upcoming administration will not tolerate any legal actions by New York Attorney General Letitia James if she targets the 47th president through the judicial system.
“I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” said Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project, an advocacy group supporting conservative judicial appointments, during an appearance on “The Benny Show” podcast.
“Listen here, sweetheart,” Davis continued, addressing James. “We’re not messing around this time and we will put your fat a– in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that.”
Davis, who is rumored to be a candidate for the attorney general or White House counsel position in Trump’s next administration, advised the New York Attorney General to “think long and hard” before infringing on the president-elect’s “constitutional rights or any other Americans’ constitutional rights.”
“It’s not going to happen again,” he declared.
The day following Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, James, 66, threatened to “use the rule of law to fight back” against the new administration, noting her office has been “preparing for several months” to counter Trump’s return.
Earlier this year, James secured a $454 million civil fraud judgment against Trump, 78, accusing him of overstating his net worth by billions to obtain favorable loan and insurance terms.
Trump has appealed the judgment.
“I can imagine that the Trump 47 Justice Department is not going to have any patience for this Democrat lawfare over the next four years,” Davis said in an interview with Newsmax.
The former chief counsel for nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) argued that James would be in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241 — “conspiracy against rights” — if she continues to pursue her “political enemies.”
In response to a Wall Street Journal article suggesting Davis could take the White House counsel role under Trump, he responded that his interests lie elsewhere.
“No, thank you. I want to serve as the Viceroy,” he wrote on X.
