Letitia James' underdog rival turns AG's own playbook against her with scathing 52-count campaign 'indictment'

New York attorney general candidate Saritha Komatireddy discusses New York Attorney General Letitia James' policies on 'America Reports.'

The Republican challenging New York Attorney General Letitia James released a mock 52-count indictment Thursday, accusing the Democratic incumbent of neglecting her duties as the state’s top law enforcement official.

The 52-count mock indictment accuses James of failing to address mentally ill people living on the streets, repeat offenders, hate crimes and fraud, while focusing instead on political battles with President Donald Trump. Rather than tackle these issues, Komatireddy charges that James has been too focused on sparring with President Donald Trump.

The attack comes just hours before James and Komatireddy are set to face off Thursday night in their first televised debate of the general election campaign.

Komatireddy is a former federal prosecutor who secured convictions against Islamist terrorists and prosecuted Mexican drug cartel leaders. The indictment-style press release appears to turn James' own legal playbook against her, with Komatireddy, a former federal prosecutor, casting the attorney general as the defendant.
