(Scypre.com) – In a pointed interview on Thursday, Mike Davis, an outspoken supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, issued a stern warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James, vowing to hold her accountable should she continue her ongoing legal actions against Trump. Davis, who founded the Article III Project, a group dedicated to judicial advocacy, expressed his frustrations and pledged intensified consequences if Trump faces further legal challenges from James upon his return to the White House.
“Let me just say this to Big Tish James, the New York Attorney General,” Davis said in an appearance on The Benny Show podcast. “I dare you to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term. Listen here, we’re not messing around this time. We will put your actions under a spotlight, and we’re prepared to hold you accountable for any perceived violations of rights.”
Davis’s words come as James has remained a vocal opponent of Trump, engaging in a series of high-profile legal cases against him. Earlier this year, James ordered Trump to post a $454 million bond in a civil fraud case, alleging that the former president overinflated his property values to secure better loan terms. This financial penalty became a flashpoint for Trump’s legal team, who quickly appealed the ruling, denouncing it as “draconian, unlawful, and unconstitutional.” Trump’s lawyers asserted that Judge Arthur Engoron’s decision in the case overreached and infringed upon Trump’s rights.
New York Attorney General James, in tandem with New York Governor Kathy Hochul, recently responded to Trump’s electoral victory with a renewed resolve to resist any attempts at “revenge or retribution” that they fear may target their offices as Trump prepares to re-assume the presidency. Hochul and James have insisted they will pursue their duties impartially, regardless of the political ramifications of Trump’s upcoming term.
Davis’s criticism didn’t stop at James; he also took aim at Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in Georgia, who brought forward charges against Trump in relation to his alleged attempts to challenge the results of the 2020 election. “[Willis] is going to get disqualified from this case,” Davis declared during the interview. “This case will go to another district attorney in Georgia, and it’s unlikely anyone would pursue these charges because it’s not a crime to contest a presidential election.”
Willis, who recently won her re-election bid against Republican opponent Courtney Kramer, first rose to prominence shortly after taking office in February 2021. At that time, she initiated an investigation into whether Trump and his allies had violated laws in attempting to overturn his narrow loss to President Joe Biden in Georgia. The matter has since become a contentious topic in national politics, with some defending Willis’s approach as necessary and others, like Davis, questioning its legitimacy.
Trump’s return to the political forefront has re-energized his supporters and, at the same time, intensified scrutiny from those who previously investigated or prosecuted him. This scrutiny has revived discussions about the limits of prosecutorial power and the potential for political motives in high-stakes legal battles. Davis, a former Senate aide and Supreme Court clerk, has been suggested as a possible candidate for White House Counsel, a role that would allow him to further shape and defend Trump’s legal strategies from within the administration.
Both James and Willis have faced mounting pressure from Trump’s allies, who argue that the legal challenges against him are driven more by political vendettas than by substantive legal concerns. While Davis’s comments may heighten the tension between Trump’s team and the prosecutors pursuing cases against him, they underscore a deeper divide within American political and judicial spheres.
As Trump prepares to assume office, the conflict between his administration and certain state officials is likely to reach new heights, especially as accusations of bias and overreach continue to stir debate. Whether these clashes will yield lasting implications for future administrations remains to be seen, but the stakes are higher than ever for both Trump and those investigating him.
