New York Attorney General Letitia James told reporters Wednesday she would fight former President Donald Trump if he used the presidency to seek retribution against her after his Tuesday election win.
James, whose office went after Trump in a civil trial that saw him banned from conducting business in New York for three years, also signaled she would work with him when necessary.
As Trumps legal issues are expected to largely disappear following his historic defeat of Vice President Kamla Harris, James addressed the media Wednesday afternoon. James said:

We studied their platforms. Weve identified certain possibilities, fact patterns. Weve created contingency plans. So no matter what the next administration throws at us. Were ready.
