New York Attorney General Letitia James
is lashing out at President Donald Trump’s slew of pardons delivered in the
final hours of his presidency.
Trump pardoned former chief strategist Steve Bannon, rapper Lil Wayne and other
allies of his and his family.
James released a statement, saying in part: “President Donald Trump started his
administration with unethical behavior and he will end it no differently. The
143 pardons and commutations issued perfectly sum up what this lame-duck
president has always been about: favoritism.”
The attorney general went on to say that when Trump leaves office, “the rule of
law will be restored.”
