President Trump called for New York Attorney General Letitia James to be removed from the Cornell case in an October 13 Truth Social statement. The post is a demand for action by the governor, not an order that changes the case.
What President Trump said about Letitia James and Cornell
In his Truth Social post, President Trump asked, “How can ‘New York State Attorney General,’ Letitia James, be allowed to investigate the Cornell rape scandal.” He then called on the governor to take James off the case immediately and replace her.
The President’s post describes the matter as a Cornell rape scandal and criticizes James in sharply personal terms. Those are the President’s statements. The post does not announce that the governor removed James, that a court changed the case, or that any agency issued a new order.
What has changed so far?
The concrete action in the record is the President’s public request to the governor. Any removal, reassignment, or other change would require action outside the post itself. Readers following the legal and political claims around James can also see Trump’s earlier Letitia James claims.
Why the statement matters
The statement puts a direct political demand before New York’s governor: replace the attorney general on the Cornell matter. For families watching a serious allegation involving a major university, the next development to watch is an official action from the governor, a court, or the responsible state authority—not another social-media post alone.
Trump has used Truth Social to make other public statements that do not themselves create policy. For context on that distinction, read the October 7 Truth Social statement.
What to watch next
- A statement or order from New York’s governor.
- Any court filing that changes who handles the matter.
- An announcement from the state authority responsible for the investigation.
