- US Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed DOJ's review of the letter saying, "of course we’ll be reviewing it," while Governor Kathy Hochul defended James, citing a need to show intentional fraud, not mistakes.
- The referral highlights the ongoing legal conflict between Trump and James, who led a civil fraud case against Trump resulting in a $454 million penalty, and signals potential further federal scrutiny amid political tensions.
