Former President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday he had thought New York Attorney General Letitia James would settle her case against him, which he said he had problems with because he is not guilty.
The remarks came as the ex-president railed against James’ $250 million lawsuit, claiming Trump lied about his property values.
Speaking with Sean Hannity from his home in Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday, the ex-president referred to the lawsuit as ‘just a continuation of a witch hunt’ and suggested that James had been after him since she first ran for office.
‘She campaigned on it four years ago, it was a vicious campaign,’ Trump said. ‘And she just talked about Trump and “We’re going to get him, we’re going to indict him, we’re going to get him.”
‘She knew nothing about me,’ he claimed. ‘I never heard of her, but I saw this woman, I saw this statement she was putting out without knowing anything.’
‘She said, “We’re gonna get him,” her whole campaign was based on that,’ Trump continued. ‘Then she came after us, we have been going over this for years.’
