A source familiar with James’s political operation told CNN she brought in $567,000 from over 24,000 donors in the 24 hours after she was indicted Thursday afternoon on felony charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution. Most of the fundraising came in response to emails her political operation was sending out to capitalize on the news, though some donations came in on their own.
Her prepared video response to the indictment drew 4.3 million views on X in that same 24 hours.
Trump had long called for James to be indicted and her team had long prepared for it. In the immediate aftermath of the announcement, national and New York Democrats rushed to support her, led by Zohran Mamdani, whom James has been helping both on the New York City mayoral campaign and in gearing up for governing if he wins.

“Inflating net worth, square footage, property use, & collateral assets to secure bigger loans at lower interest rates contributes to housing inflation. Trump was on the hook if his properties defaulted in his fraud case.” Nothing frivolous about that.

Her lawyer is a legend. Comey’s layer is a legend. When they indict Schiff out comes Preet Bharara.
