</div>
<p>A conservative attorney rumored as a potential top cabinet appointee for president-elect Donald Trump issued a stark warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday.</p>
<p>“Let me just say this to ‘Big Tish’ James, the New York attorney general: I dare you. I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term because listen here, sweetheart, we’re not messing around this time,” Mike Davis, the former chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said.</p>
<p>The threat was then crystallized with a body-shaming insult about the Empire State’s top law enforcement official.</p>
<p>“We will put your fat a–– in prison for conspiracy against rights,” Davis said during an appearance on “<a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1854615830358614487" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Benny Show</a>,” the eponymous YouTube program hosted by conservative columnist Benny Johnson.</p>
<aside class="o-callout__recirculate o-callout"/>
<p>James, a Democrat, has been a constant and expensive thorn in Trump’s side during the interregnum-like Joe Biden presidency – but her interest in the 45th and 47th president goes back much further.</p>
<p>An underlying investigation by James’ office dates back to 2019 and is premised on sworn congressional testimony from Trump’s former friend and fixer Michael Cohen in 2019. <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/aocs-grilling-of-michael-cohen-was-what-led-to-ny-ags-fraud-case-against-trump-businesses-eric-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Under questioning</a> by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Cohen claimed the Trump Organization inflated assets to insurance companies and that the company’s tax returns likely contained similar financial improprieties.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2022/attorney-general-james-sues-donald-trump-years-financial-fraud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$250 million civil fraud lawsuit</a> was brought against Trump, his children, and the Trump Organization by James in <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/trump/letitia-james-files-massive-fraud-lawsuit-asking-judge-to-permanently-bar-trump-and-his-children-from-serving-as-officer-or-director-in-any-new-york-corporation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">September 2022</a>.</p>
<p>Fast-forward a year or so.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/trump/repeated-and-persistent-fraud-trump-inflated-his-net-worth-by-billions-of-dollars-for-over-10-years-in-order-to-bilk-banks-and-insurance-companies-ny-ag-says-in-new-filing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">September 2023</a>, the former and forthcoming president, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, several of their top lieutenants, and various corporate organizations that comprise the Trump family business were found to have committed fraud by a Manhattan judge on a series of motions for summary judgment filed by James and her office. The court also saw fit to issue costly cancellations of numerous licenses that allowed the Trumps to do business in New York State. Additionally, several of Trump’s attorneys were personally sanctioned $7,500 each for making frivolous arguments orally and in motions.</p>
<p>A bench trial — a trial without a jury — on the extent of liability <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/you-cant-listen-to-me-for-more-than-one-minute-trump-lashes-out-at-judge-at-close-of-civil-fraud-trial-in-new-york/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was held</a> between October and December 2023. <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/the-frauds-found-here-leap-off-the-page-and-shock-the-conscience-trump-owes-364-million-for-lying-about-business-valuations-will-be-temporarily-barred-from-doing-business-in-empire-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In February</a>, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron arrived at a penalty just shy of the $370 million the state had asked for <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/necessary-and-appropriate-new-york-attorney-general-asks-judge-to-ban-trump-for-life-from-empire-state-real-estate-industry-and-make-him-pay-370-million-penalty-for-repeated-and-persistent-fra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in January</a>.</p>
<p>As the bills, substantial civil fines with crushing amounts of interest in this case, came due, Trump and his lawyers on one side <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/the-assets-would-be-forever-gone-trump-and-his-attorneys-rage-over-completely-illogical-suggestions-by-ny-ags-office-on-how-to-satisfy-464-million-civil-fraud-judgment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">battled it out</a> with James, her fellow lawyers, and Engoron on the other.</p>
<p>As the case wore on, <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/we-will-ask-the-judge-to-seize-his-assets-ny-ag-says-if-trump-cant-pay-354m-fraud-fine-his-buildings-are-up-for-grabs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James threatened</a> to seize Trump’s assets; Trump said James <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/trump-attorney-says-ny-ag-is-trying-to-collect-on-civil-fraud-verdict-without-notice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was violating the law</a> by trying to collect on the verdict by sidestepping procedure; Engoron <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/you-have-failed-judge-overseeing-civil-fraud-case-quickly-shuts-down-trump-and-co-defendants-effort-to-pause-enforcement-of-364-million-penalty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rebuffed efforts</a> to slow the process down. Then, after Trump posted a bond to appeal the verdict, <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/a-promise-that-is-hollow-ny-ag-asks-judge-to-reject-trumps-175-million-civil-fraud-bond-as-without-effect-and-force-him-to-get-a-replacement-within-days/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James asked the court</a> to rule the bond was simply not good enough but <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/not-the-only-evidence-of-justification-trump-lawyers-acknowledge-civil-fraud-bond-was-issued-without-certificate-of-qualification-but-say-ags-complaint-should-be-set-aside-anyway/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump pushed back</a>, eventually catching a break this spring.</p>
<p><a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/no-victims-no-damages-and-no-financial-losses-trump-spends-nearly-5000-pages-asking-appeals-court-for-stay-in-civil-fraud-case-because-he-simply-does-not-have-the-cash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On appeal</a>, Trump and his namesake business empire seem likely to fare much better.</p>
<p>During a hearing <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/the-immense-penalty-in-this-case-is-troubling-appeals-court-highly-skeptical-of-government-and-trial-court-in-trump-civil-fraud-case/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in late September</a>, Trump’s arguments received a much warmer reception from the court than those essayed by James’ office. One judge on the New York Supreme Court’s Appellate Division, First Department said the “immense penalty” issued against the Trump Organization in the case was “troubling.”</p>
<p>Since then, the court has given no indication of a resolution – though a substantial paring back of the verdict appears to be probable.</p>
<p>And, then, on Nov. 5, Trump handily dispatched Vice President Kamala Harris with a lopsided victory in the electoral college.</p>
<p>Now, Trump and his allies are signaling the gloves are off.</p>
<p>Davis, who previously clerked for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and now runs an organization that advocates for appointing conservative movement judges, has been bandied about as a potential Trump White House attorney general pick in a recent story by the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/donald-trump-cabinet-transition-president-42989f5b?st=xBaeHU&amp;reflink=article_copyURL_share" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wall Street Journal</a>. That report also said Trumpworld was looking at Davis “for another legal-related post in the administration.”</p>
<p>While Davis jokingly shrugged off the Journal’s report in <a href="https://x.com/mrddmia/status/1854523777729650840" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a post on X</a> (formerly Twitter), his aggressive stance towards James suggests he expects to play some sort of role in the incoming administration.</p>
<p>“I promise you,” Davis continued. “Think long and hard before you wanna violate President Trump’s constitutional rights or any other American’s constitutional rights. It’s not gonna happen again.”</p>

<p>The disgraced former CEO derisively known as “Pharma Bro” will not get to <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/supreme-court/martin-shkrelis-former-lawyer-whom-pharma-bro-called-lazy-and-stupid-and-paid-too-much-asks-scotus-to-save-his-401k-from-the-feds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plead his case before the nation’s highest court</a>.</p>
<p>Listed among dozens of pages of <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/100724zor_4gdj.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">single-line orders</a> issued Monday was the U.S. Supreme Court’s denial of <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/martin-shkreli/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Martin Shkreli</a>‘s appeal of a lower court ruling banning him for life from the pharmaceutical industry and ordering him to pay $64.6 million. As Law&amp;Crime has previously reported, Shkreli — a <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/politics/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-sentenced-to-7-years-for-fraud/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted felon</a> who served over five years in prison for defrauding hedge fund investors — became a household name after inflating the price of AIDS drug Daraprim by 5,000%. At the time, Daraprim was the only FDA-approved drug for the treatment of toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease that poses serious and often life-threatening consequences for those with compromised immune systems, including babies born to women infected with the disease and individuals with HIV.</p>
<aside class="o-callout__recirculate o-callout"/>
<p>“The high price and distribution changes Shkreli made limited access to the drug, forcing many patients and physicians to make difficult and risky decisions for the treatment of a life-threatening disease,” James said in the statement.</p>
<p>In 2022, the federal District Court for the Southern District of New York <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/judge-determines-martin-shkreli-deserves-to-be-banned-for-life-from-participating-in-pharmaceutical-industry-in-any-capacity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued the ban and the fine</a>, which was <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/health-care/not-gates-zuckerberg-rockefeller-but-little-old-me-pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-goes-ballistic-on-federal-appeals-court-for-upholding-lifetime-ban-from-pharma-industry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">later upheld</a> by the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.</p>
<p>New York Attorney General <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/letitia-james/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Letitia James</a> said in a statement Monday that Shkreli should not be able to avoid responsibility.</p>
<p>“Martin Shkreli tried to profit off of vulnerable people by jacking up lifesaving medicine to ludicrous prices and preventing cheaper generic drugs from launching,” James said in the statement. “His selfishness had consequences, and that is why I joined with the FTC and my fellow attorneys general to hold Shkreli accountable and to stop his outrageous actions.”</p>
<p>James added that the legal win “reinforces how our state’s tough anti-fraud laws help protect New Yorkers and ensure bad actors cannot abuse their power, wealth, or influence.”</p>
<p>Shkreli’s legal issues are note yet over, however. He allegedly made copies of a rare Wu-Tang album that he sold in order to satisfy a $7.4 million forfeiture order and <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-threatened-with-contempt-over-copies-of-rare-wu-tang-album-after-sufficiently-serious-questions-raised-about-livestream/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">played it on a livestream</a>, in contravention of rules regarding the album’s sale and was threatened with a contempt charge.</p>
<p>“Yeah, that’s the Wu-Tang album for all you crazy streamer people,” he allegedly said during a June 18, 2022, livestream of the album — one of three alleged instances of sharing the highly-prized album with the public.</p>
