Driven by blatant retribution, the Trump Justice Department's prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James is an abuse of power. I stand with the AG.

Our Town's Keith Kelly in story today: "O’Keefe, the founder and president of the Saint Vartan Park Conservancy and a longtime board member of Community Board 6... is 'progressive on some issues but moderate on other issues' including public safety. Definitely not a defund the police supporter."
