‘Worst Possible Poster Child’: Scott Jennings Reminds CNN Panel Letitia James Ran On Targeting Trump

Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings recalled Thursday that Democratic Attorney General Letitia James of New York campaigned on a promise to target President Donald Trump during a discussion about her indictment for mortgage fraud.

A federal grand jury indicted James on two counts on Thursday about mortgage fraud allegations surrounding a house in Norfolk, Virginia. Jennings said on “CNN NewsNight” that James’ claims about being targeted for political reasons rang hollow, citing her track record.

“Look, I mean, Letitia James is the absolute worst possible poster child for the argument of selective prosecution. Her entire political career has been on the idea of selectively prosecuting one person, Donald J. Trump,” Jennings said.

“Whether you think the merits of the case are strong or weak, or how you think it‘s going to play out, going out tonight and crying and whining and fussing about selective prosecution when it comes to Letitia James, who ran an entire campaign saying she was going to go after Trump, the cases she brought, it was only because of Trump, I don’t think the American people are going to have too much sympathy for it,” Jennings continued. “But she’ll get to go to court, she’ll get to make her arguments and we’ll see what happens.”
