Story summary

Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, faced renewed criticism in October 2026 when federal agents raided at least two Brooklyn adult day-care facilities suspected of Medicaid fraud. The investigation covers over 100 sites and involves offenses ranging from money laundering to kickbacks. Critics argue that James has a poor record in fighting such crimes, with billions potentially stolen through Medicaid fraud in New York.

Additionally, the case of convicted Wall Street conman Daniel Gordon highlighted another oversight. Despite owing the state $59 million in unpaid taxes and penalties, Gordon lives freely in California while James' office has taken little action to pursue him. While she formally requires state tax authorities to request her assistance, critics claim this should not be a significant barrier.

The New York Post editorial board contends that James prioritizes high-profile legal battles against figures like Donald Trump over addressing everyday issues like Medicaid fraud and street crime, suggesting that she is more focused on partisan scoring than serving the public interest.

who → burn → streets

But as long as James holds the AG’s office, the news will be full of crimes she hasn’t bothered to fight because she’s too busy chasing headlines. asserted
