Political scientist Mel Witte was taken aback when delving into New York Attorney General Letitia James’ financial report in late February.
Despite James’ recent victory in a $454 million ruling against former President Donald Trump, scrutiny of her expenditures revealed startling figures. In 2023 alone, James spent $28,500 on hotels, with a significant portion at a luxury hotel in Puerto Rico.
Her airfare totaled $84,000 over five years, including private jet rentals. Dining expenses reached $20,000 annually, encompassing a wide range from Dunkin Donuts to upscale steakhouses. Questionable expenses labeled as “office” costs included $7,000 at a nightclub.
While not illegal, these expenditures raise eyebrows, especially considering James’ campaign finances, which included numerous out-of-state donations suspected to involve ghost donors, as uncovered by Witte’s investigation.
