New York Weighed Hitting Trump With Racketeering

The Daily Beast reports that the New York Attorney General’s office looked at bringing racketeering charges against Donald Trump — “and may have been stymied by state offices under the administration of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.”

“This previously undisclosed bureaucratic showdown is now being surfaced in response to the recent leak of internal AG documents that have been sent to the DA’s office last week. Among them is a memo circulated at the AG’s office in 2020 that outlined exactly how to go for the jugular by indicting Trump for essentially running a mob… If he were found guilty, the potential punishment would be severe: a mandatory year in prison and up to 25 years behind bars.”
