White Collar Fraud:

Executive Summary: This investigation documents a pattern of inconsistencies spanning Letitia James’s tenure in two major offices. Our findings show that James spent years handling sexual harassment allegations by Ibrahim Khan differently across both positions—first as NYC Public Advocate (2014-2018) and later as NY Attorney General (2019-present)—while applying vastly different standards to similar accusations against political figures like Governor Cuomo.

As Attorney General, she promoted Khan to Chief of Staff and continued protecting him even as new allegations emerged, while simultaneously weaponizing harassment allegations to destroy Cuomo. When her double standards were exposed, James hired Davis Polk—the same law firm that assisted her in the Cuomo investigation—to represent her office in related litigation. more
