As Donald Trump increases his threats against state officials, New York AG Letitia James has pleaded not guilty in a federal bank fraud case brought by Trump's Justice Department. Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Lisa Graves and former federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg join The Weeknight to discuss the arraignment and growing warnings from inside DOJ.

Attorneys for New York Attorney General Letitia James took aim at the Trump-appointed prosecutor overseeing her bank fraud case Thursday, accusing interim U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan of an improper conversation with a journalist and vowing to seek dismissal of the indictment on the grounds that Halligan was unlawfully named to the job.

James pleaded not guilty to two federal counts as her lawyers signaled plans to challenge Halligan’s appointment as U.S. attorney.
