Former deputy assistant attorney general Tom Dupree claimed that New York Attorney General Letitia James is “trying to ban President Trump and his family members from running businesses in New York in the future” with her lawsuit Wednesday on “Your World.”

Why are you giving this to us?” It’s possible there could be laws that she doesn’t have jurisdiction to enforce, and it gets kind of complicated. But to your point, she made the decision to go the civil route. She’s basically trying to ban President Trump and his family members from running businesses in New York in the future. She’s not, at least at this stage of the game, trying to put them in jail.
