   Former President Trump will return to New York City this week to face questioning regarding Attorney General Letitia James' fraud lawsuit against him and the Trump Organization.

Trump is expected to return to NYC from Florida sometime Thursday and will face questions in James’ office in Manhattan. James' investigation is separate from the 34 counts of felony fraud that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg leveled against Trump last week.

The visit will be Trump's first time in NYC since he surrendered to authorities in the Bragg case.

Thursday will be the second time the former president has sat down for questioning from James. He also appeared for a deposition with her office in the weeks leading up to her lawsuit late last year. In that instance, he refused to answer any questions, repeatedly invoking his Fifth Amendment rights.

I'm (obviously) no fan of Trump, but it is clear as hell that all these legal actions have been timed to have maximum impact on the 2024 election.  That's a complete perversion of our justice system.

It is, but what can be done about it?  Certainly one cannot simply put a freeze on all state prosecutions of potential candidates once it gets "close enough" to a primary or an election.
