Letitia James

Letitia James is the Attorney General of New York. She is in the news due to her office's involvement in several high-profile legal actions and settlements. Notably, New York is co-leading a lawsuit with California against the Trump administration's revocation of a key scientific finding related to climate change. Her office also secured a multimillion-dollar settlement with EmblemHealth for failing to provide accurate mental health provider listings, hindering access to care. Furthermore, the closure of NYU Langone Health's gender-affirming care program for minors, potentially influenced by the Trump administration's policies, falls under her purview as it impacts healthcare access in New York. These actions highlight her role in environmental protection, healthcare regulation, and LGBTQ+ rights within the state.
