Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill joined a 23-state coalition in demanding that Special Counsel Jack Smith, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis immediately end their political prosecutions of President Donald Trump.
The prosecutions, which never should have been brought against President Trump at all, now threaten a Constitutional crisis. A federal court has already dismissed one of Smith’s cases targeting President Trump. Smith’s prosecution has violated many Department of Justice policies and has been illegitimate since the beginning. Even the U.S. Supreme Court has acknowledged that this is the “first criminal prosecution in our Nation’s history of a former President for actions taken during their presidency.” James and Willis are also pursuing political prosecutions and other legal challenges against President Trump.
"I join my fellow attorneys general in urging Attorney General James, Special Counsel Smith, and District Attorney Wilis, to stop delegitimizing the judicial system with political attacks on President Trump," said Attorney General Liz Murrill.
Following the States’ letter this morning, Smith announced that he will drop his case. The States are demanding that James and Willis also end their political prosecutions and other legal challenges targeting President Trump.
Iowa led the letter, and Louisiana was joined by Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia.
