00:00This is nothing more than a continuation of the President's desperate weaponization of
00:06our justice system.
00:08He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job
00:16as the New York State Attorney General.
00:19These charges are baseless, and the President's own public statements make clear that his
00:25only goal is political retribution at any cost.
00:30The President's actions are a grave violation of our constitutional order and have drawn sharp
00:36criticism from members of both parties.
00:40His decision to fire a United States Attorney who refused to bring charges against me and
00:46replace them with someone who is blindly loyal not to the law, but to the President, is antithetical
00:53to the bedrock principles of our country.
00:58This is the time for leaders on both sides of the aisle to speak out against this blatant
01:05perversion of our system of justice.
01:09I stand strongly behind my office's litigation against the Trump Organization.
01:15We conducted a two-year investigation based on the facts and evidence, not politics.
01:25Judges have upheld the trial court's finding that Donald Trump, his company, and his two
01:32sons are liable for fraud.
01:36I'm a proud woman of faith, and I know that faith and fear cannot share the same space.
01:43So today, I'm not fearful.
01:46I'm fearless.
01:49And as my faith teaches me, no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
01:54We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect
02:01New Yorkers and their rights.
02:05And I will continue to do my job.
