Trump ally floated as possible AG has harsh warning for Letitia James: ‘We will put your fat a– in prison’

Trump ally floated as possible AG has harsh warning for Letitia James: ‘We will put your fat a– in prison’

Mike Davis, a staunch ally of President-elect Donald Trump, had some harsh words for New York Attorney General Letitia James during an appearance on “The Benny Show” podcast on Thursday.  “Let me just say this to Big Tish James, the New York Attorney General … I dare you to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” the founder of the Article III Project said. “Because listen here sweetheart, we’re not messing around this time. And we will put your fat a– in prison for conspiracy against rights and I promise you that.”  Davis warned James to “think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump’s constitutional rights or any other American’s constitutional rights.”  “It’s not going to happen again,” Davis said.  NBA COACH DOC RIVERS SAYS ‘WE HAVE TO SUPPORT TRUMP’ AFTER BASHING HIM THROUGHOUT ELECTION CYCLE James ordered Trump to pay a $454 million bond payment earlier this year as part of a civil fraud case brought against the former commander-in-chief. The New York AG accused Trump of overinflating the value of his assets to get better loans.  Trump later appealed the ruling. His attorneys called New York Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling “draconian, unlawful, and unconstitutional.” After Trump’s electoral victory on Tuesday, James and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul vowed to fight back against any potential “revenge or retribution” that may be coming their way now that President-elect Trump will be returning to the White House. In his interview with Johnson, Davis also took shots at Fulton County Attorney General Fani Willis, who brought charges against Trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.  “[Fani Willis] is going to get disqualified from this case. This case will go to another district attorney in Georgia and no one in their right mind would bring this case again because it is not a crime to object to a presidential election,” Davis said.  Willis, a Democrat, won her bid for re-election on Tuesday, defeating Republican challenger Courtney Kramer.  CONSERVATIVE POLITICOS SHARE REACTIONS TO PROTEST RESPONSE AFTER TRUMP WIN: ‘IT’S STRANGELY QUIET’ Willis made headlines just a month into her tenure, announcing in February 2021 that she was investigating whether Trump and others broke any laws while trying to overturn his narrow loss in the state to Biden.  The case is largely on hold while Trump and other defendants appeal a judge’s ruling allowing Willis to continue prosecuting the case.  Fox News Digital has reached out to the offices of James and Willis seeking a response to Davis’ comments.  A former Supreme Court clerk and Senate aide, Davis has been suggested as a possible candidate for White House Counsel in the forthcoming Trump administration.  Davis has dismissed these rumors, writing on X: “No, thank you. I want to serve as Viceroy.” 

Dem governor issues stark warning to Trump: ‘You come for my people, you come through me’

Dem governor issues stark warning to Trump: ‘You come for my people, you come through me’

Democrat Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker issued a stark warning to President-elect Trump following his landmark victory, promising that if anyone tries to “come for my people,” they will have to “come through me.” “People have often said that I’m a happy warrior, and I’ve always taken seriously my role as a happy warrior on behalf of this state,” Pritzker said in a news conference Thursday. “Even today, when I’m struggling with many of the difficult questions this election poses, my optimism for the future remains undiminished.” “To anyone who intends to come take away the freedom and opportunity and dignity of Illinoisans: I would remind you that a happy warrior is still a warrior,” he said. “You come for my people, you come through me.” BIDEN SPEAKS FOR FIRST TIME SINCE HARRIS LOSS, AS TRUMP AND ALLIES EYE TRANSITION PROCESS Pritzker’s words of warning came after he promised to protect residents from Trump’s “backward” agenda. “Over the years ahead, we’ll do more than just protect against possible reversion to an agenda that threatens to take us backwards,” he said. “We will continue to advance a positive, productive and inclusive agenda of our own.” HARRIS FORMALLY CONCEDES ONE DAY AFTER TRUMP’S SWEEPING VICTORY “Despite his threats to health care coverage and educational opportunity and a fair minimum wage, Illinois will continue to invest in the well-being and prosperity of all our people.” Illinois has maintained some of the strongest abortion protection laws under Pritzker, launching the Midwest state to become a safe haven for women seeking abortions. Fox News Digital has reached out to Pritzker’s office for comment.

DNC chair fires back after Bernie Sanders claims Dems lost working class in election: ‘straight up BS’

DNC chair fires back after Bernie Sanders claims Dems lost working class in election: ‘straight up BS’

DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison fired back at Bernie Sanders in a post on X after the progressive senator from Vermont claimed that Democrats have lost the working class. “It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” wrote Sanders in a Nov. 6 post. Harrison slammed the recently re-elected Senator Sanders in a post earlier on Thursday, claiming “this is straight up BS…” BERNIE SANDERS EXCORIATES DEMOCRATIC PARTY, CALLS CAMPAIGN ‘DISASTROUS’ AFTER TRUMP VICTORY “Biden was the most-pro worker President of my life time- saved Union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket line and some of MVP’s plans would have fundamentally transformed the quality of life and closed the racial wealth gap for working people across this country,” wrote Harrison.  “From the child tax credits, to 25k for a down payment for a house to Medicare covering the cost of senior health care in their homes. There are a lot of post election takes and this one ain’t a good one,” he concluded. Harrison’s post currently has over 18,000 likes. Harrison’s post comes as many fingers are being pointed within Democratic circles to attribute Vice President Harris’ definitive loss to any possible guilty party. Sanders referred to the Harris campaign as “disastrous” in his X post, asking “Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?” “Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing?” added Sanders. “Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.” HOUSE DEMOCRAT SAYS THE PARTY NEEDS TO GET PAST ‘TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME’ Vice President Harris has gained only 226 Electoral College votes thus far, according to the Fox News Decision Desk. She has been projected to lose critical swing states Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Democrats didn’t just suffer defeat at the top of the ticket, but across the board. According to projections from the Fox News Decision Desk, Republicans are set to take the majority of both the House and Senate. Harrison is not expected to seek re-election as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, per Reuters. He was first chosen for the post in 2021 after President Biden took office. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Sanders, 83, has served as senator since 2007 and won another six-year term on Tuesday despite many seats in the chamber flipping red.

KJP says President Biden still has no plans to pardon Hunter Biden for tax fraud, gun charges

KJP says President Biden still has no plans to pardon Hunter Biden for tax fraud, gun charges

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Biden still has no plans to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, who pleaded guilty to federal tax charges in September. Hunter Biden’s plea spared him from a public trial over his failure to pay taxes while he spent lavishly on drugs, escorts, luxury hotel stays, clothing and other personal items. The plea also came after he was convicted of three felony gun charges in June. The first son, prosecutors said, lied on a mandatory gun purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs. After Hunter Biden was convicted of the crimes, President Biden indicated he did not plan to pardon his son. POLL COMPARES WHETHER TRUMP, HUNTER BIDEN SHOULD GET PRISON SENTENCES, ACCORDING TO US ADULTS On Thursday, Jean-Pierre was asked again if Biden had any intentions of pardoning Hunter, who is scheduled to be sentenced on the gun charges on Dec. 12 and the tax fraud charges on Dec. 16. “We’ve been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands, which is no,” the press secretary said. Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich followed up on the question, asking if a commutation, or a lesser sentence, was off the table for Hunter Biden. BIDEN COMMITTED ‘IMPEACHABLE CONDUCT,’ DEFRAUDED UNITED STATES TO ENRICH HIS FAMILY’: HOUSE GOP REPORT Heinrich reminded Jean-Pierre that she had previously said Biden would not consider a commutation of Hunter’s sentence. “Yes, that stands,” Jean-Pierre said. “You’re saying that still stands?” Heinrich asked for clarification. ‘IT’S STILL NO’: KJP SUGGESTS BIDEN WON’T PARDON HIS SON IN THE TAX CASE “Yeah,” Jean-Pierre responded. The president’s son was indicted in December on three felonies and six misdemeanor counts alleging he evaded paying at least $1.4 million in taxes while simultaneously spending money on “drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes,” according to the December 2023 indictment. Prosecutors also allege the tax returns Hunter Biden ultimately did file falsely claimed that things like prostitutes, strip club visits, porn website subscriptions and other personal expenses were actually deductible business expenses. The aim, according to the indictment, was to “evade assessment of taxes to reduce the substantial tax liabilities” that Hunter Biden faced. Fox News’ Alec Schemmel contributed to this report.
