Trump ally — who could be AG — warns NY’s Letitia James to back off president-elect: ‘We will put your fata– in prison’ 

A fierce ally of President-elect Donald Trump warned Thursday that the new administration will have no patience for New York Attorney General Letitia James if she weaponizes the legal system against the 47th president. 

“I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” Mike Davis, the founder of the Article III Project, an advocacy group that pushes for the nominations of conservative judges, said during an appearance on “The Benny Show” podcast

“Listen here, sweetheart,” Davis continued, addressing James. “We’re not messing around this time and we will put your fata– in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that.”

Davis, who has been floated as a possible Trump pick for attorney general or White House counsel in his incoming administration, urged the New York AG to “think long and hard” before potentially violating the president-elect’s “constitutional rights or any other Americans’ constitutional rights.”

“It’s not going to happen again,” he declared. 

The day after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election, James, 66, threatened to “use the rule of law to fight back” against the future administration, noting that her office has been “preparing for several months” to counter Trump’s ascendance. 

James won a $454 million civil fraud judgment against Trump, 78, earlier this year after accusing the real estate magnate of inflating his net worth by billions of dollars to get better loan and insurance terms.

Trump has appealed the ruling.

“I can imagine that the Trump 47 Justice Department is not going to have any patience for this Democrat lawfare over the next four years,” Davis said in an interview with Newsmax.

The former chief counsel for nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) argued that James would be in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241 — “conspiracy against rights” — if she continues to go after her “political enemies.”

In response to a Wall Street Journal report linking Davis to the White House counsel role under Trump, the lawyer suggested that his ambitions lie elsewhere. 

“No, thank you. I want to serve as the Viceroy,” he wrote on X
