President Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a> has slammed Attorney General Letitia James<\/strong>, suggesting the Cornell 7 frat boys at the center of rape allegations \u201cwon\u2019t get a fair shake\u201d if she is involved in proceedings.<\/p>\n

\u201cLetitia James is a corrupt person,\u201d Trump told White House reporters on Friday, October 2,\u00a0 after being asked about her appointment as special prosecutor in the case.<\/p>\n

According to multiple outlets<\/a>, he added, \u201cShe\u2019s totally corrupt, and I can\u2019t imagine it. And I feel badly for whoever she\u2019s looking at because they won\u2019t get a fair shake. Letitia James is a corrupt person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Us<\/em> has reached out to James\u2019 office for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe District Attorney who initially oversaw the investigation into a former Cornell University student\u2019s claims that she was gang raped by seven members of a fraternity in 2024 is admitting his office didn\u2019t conduct an initial, independent investigation into the case. Instead, the DA simply relied on campus police. Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The president has a hostile dynamic with James after her high-profile civil fraud investigations into his business dealings. In 2022, James brought a $454 million civil fraud case against Trump, his family and his company. A New York appeals court overturned the case in 2026.<\/p>\n

On Friday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul<\/strong> told James to take over the criminal investigations into the alleged gang rape.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will review the facts, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and if warranted pursue prosecutions,\u201d James said. \u201cI know that you want answers. I do, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jane Doe, a former student at the Ivy League school, recently sued Cornell and seven male fraternity members. Per the lawsuit, the alleged victim, who was 20 at the time of the alleged rape, remembered feeling intoxicated after drinking at her sorority and a nightclub on October 19, 2024. She went alone to visit a friend at the frat house, where she was allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted at the Chi Phi fraternity house<\/a> in Ithaca, New York.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTwo weeks after a former Cornell University student filed a civil lawsuit claiming she was gang raped by seven fraternity brothers in 2024, new details have emerged from her report to Cornell University Police. A transcript of the alleged victim\u2019s interview with campus police was obtained by CBS News on Wednesday, September 30. While speaking [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Local station WBNG published text messages from a Snapchat group called \u201cChi Phi Actives,\u201d in which one of the men informed his frat brothers that there was \u201cfree p**** upstairs,\u201d using a derogatory term for a woman\u2019s vagina. Jane Doe recalled being sexually assaulted repeatedly by multiple members of the fraternity until the early morning hours of the following day.<\/p>\n
