Letitia James faces bar complaint and removal bid over Cornell case remarks

A defense lawyer for one of seven men accused in a Cornell University rape lawsuit, and separately the National Legal and Policy Center, asked that New York Attorney General Letitia James be removed from the criminal investigation she now leads as special prosecutor. Both cite a September 28 social media post where James called the accuser's experience "horrific and unacceptable" and wrote "we stand with you," arguing it shows prejudgment and bias before her appointment.
