NY AG Letitia James to make 'major' announcement after Deutsche Bank turns over Trump finances

New York State Attorney General Letitia James will make a “major national announcement” today.

The NY AG released a statement saying she’ll speak from her office at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, but offered no other details.

Some reports suggest James’ announcement will be related to New York state investigations into President Donald Trump’s businesses. The New York Times reported Wednesday that Deutsche Bank has turned over Trump’s financial records after the Manhattan District Attorney’s office issued a subpoena last year.

I know these "press releases" are necessary because of the tone of the culture. I don't like this big build up, though. This is justice we're talking about, and I hate that we're handling it like it's a circus.

I wish we didn't have to have "major announcement that there is going to be a major announcement." Can't the attorney general simply do what she's going to do and allow the media to make it into a circus? Does she really have to be part of it?

I can't recall any attorney general making a statement about a "major announcement" before. As much as I am intrigued, I am also prepared to be disappointed. What was the point of announcing an announcement? If it really is major, it will get plenty of coverage without all the hype in advance.

Everything these days seems to be a circus.

and actually I can't think of much of anything an attorney general would be making a major announcement about other than an indictment. I suppose there could be something else, but I can't think of what it would be. Maybe someone else has an idea.

The announcement instructs those attending to RSVP and that they must be present by 11:15.

Is it a coincidence that there is a current NYT article confirming the Deutchebank complied with a subpoena for Trumpos financials?

Is she announcing the announcement to elicit a response?

My god the replies...it’s like we’re back to the “It’s Mueller Time” meme days

I’m told this announcement isn’t related to any investigations involving POTUS and/or his family.

Besides, you think an AG would announce a presser this far in advance for something like that?
