Mike Davis, a vocal supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, issued a warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James on the “The Benny Show” podcast. Davis dared James to continue her legal actions against Trump in his second term, threatening to put her in prison for conspiracy against rights. He cautioned James to be mindful of violating Trump’s constitutional rights or any other American’s rights, emphasizing that such actions would not be tolerated again.
James had previously ordered Trump to pay a $454 million bond payment in a civil fraud case, accusing him of inflating his assets to obtain better loans. Trump appealed the ruling, calling it draconian, unlawful, and unconstitutional. Following Trump’s reelection, James and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul vowed to fight against any potential revenge or retribution that may come from the incoming administration. Davis also criticized Fulton County Attorney General Fani Willis for bringing charges against Trump for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election results.
Davis expressed confidence that Willis would be disqualified from the case against Trump and that it would be reassigned to another district attorney in Georgia. He argued that objecting to a presidential election is not a crime, implying that the charges against Trump were baseless. Willis, a Democrat, recently won re-election, defeating her Republican challenger. The investigation into Trump’s attempts to overturn the election results in Georgia is currently on hold pending appeals from the former president and other defendants.
While Davis has been suggested as a potential candidate for White House Counsel in the upcoming Trump administration, he has dismissed these rumors and stated that he prefers to serve as Viceroy. The former Supreme Court clerk and Senate aide’s comments on the podcast have sparked speculation and reaction from conservative politicos. The offices of James and Willis have been contacted for a response to Davis’ statements, but there has been no official feedback from them as of yet.
Davis’ strong language and threats towards James and Willis reflect the contentious political climate surrounding Trump’s legal battles and potential retribution against his detractors. The ongoing legal challenges against the former president and his supporters continue to unfold, with both sides preparing for potential showdowns in court. The comments made by Davis on the podcast highlight the intense partisan divisions and the battle lines being drawn in the post-election landscape.
