On February 13, 2024, House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik demanded an investigation and the immediate interim suspension of New York Attorney General Letitia James, accusing her of a personal vendetta against former President Donald Trump in a civil fraud case. Stefanik filed a bar complaint against James on the same day, alleging violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct and citing biased investigation and prosecution, as reported by @NBCNews. The call for James' suspension or disbarment was echoed by various news outlets, intensifying the clash between Republican representatives and the New York Attorney General's office.
