An ally of President-elect Donald Trump issued a harsh warning Thursday that the new administration will have no patience for New York Attorney General Letitia James if she weaponizes the legal system against the 47th president.

“I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” Mike Davis, the founder of the Article III Project, an advocacy group that pushes for the nominations of conservative judges, said during an appearance on “The Benny Show” podcast.
“Listen here, sweetheart,” Davis continued, addressing James. “We’re not messing around this time and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that.”
Davis, who has been a potential Trump pick for attorney general or White House counsel in his incoming administration, urged the New York AG to “think long and hard” before potentially violating the president-elect’s “constitutional rights or any other Americans’ constitutional rights.”
“It’s not going to happen again,” he declared.
This comes after James threatened to “use the rule of law to fight back” the day after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election. She also noted that her office has been “preparing for several months” to counter Trump’s rise.
Meanwhile, the New York AG won a $454 million civil fraud judgment against the 78-year-old earlier this year, after accusing the millionaire businessman of inflating his net worth by billions of dollars to get better loan and insurance terms.
As a result, Trump has appealed the ruling.
“I can imagine that the Trump 47 Justice Department is not going to have any patience for this Democrat lawfare over the next four years,” Davis said in an interview with Newsmax.
The former chief counsel for nominations to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa.) argued that James would be in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241, “conspiracy against rights,” if she continues to go after her “political enemies.”
However, Davis brushed off the idea of becoming Trump’s attorney general in response to a Wall Street Journal report linking him to the position.
