Letitia “Tish” James, New York’s Attorney General, is now facing criminal indictment — following public demands by former President Donald Trump that the DOJ “go after” her. Let’s be clear about what this is: a president using the power of the Justice Department to punish those who dared to hold him accountable. This is becoming a pattern. Former FBI Director James Comey was also recently indicted after Trump publicly pushed for his prosecution. In both cases, career prosecutors reportedly raised concerns about the strength of the evidence, only to be ignored or replaced by Trump loyalists. Congress must act now to restore integrity to our justice system. Any criminal indictment of a current or former senior public official should require review and co-signing by a panel of career prosecutors — not just a single political appointee. This reform would ensure that independent, nonpartisan professionals confirm that charges are based on evidence and law, not political retaliation. Without these safeguards, the justice system becomes a weapon — wielded against those who challenge the powerful. No American, regardless of political party, should fear prosecution because they did their job or spoke truth to power. The Department of Justice should adopt this standard immediately, even before Congress passes new legislation. Americans deserve confidence that the law is applied fairly, without interference from politicians seeking revenge. Add your name if you agree: it’s time to protect the rule of law and stop Trump from turning justice into a tool of political payback.
