This event in Washington Heights will be James&#8217;s first public appearance since her <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >recent bank fraud indictment<\/a> by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/missouri-man-charged-with-threatening-to-murder-2-us-congressmen\/\" title=\"Missouri Man Charged With Threatening to Murder 2 US Congressmen\">federal grand jury<\/a> in Virginia. The rally, called &#8220;Our Time Will Come,&#8221; will also feature several other prominent New York politicians and activists.<\/p>\n<p>James, who has been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump and has brought multiple legal cases against him, is facing charges that her supporters say are politically motivated, leading to &#8220;Hands OFF Tish James&#8221; protests. Mamdani condemned the indictment as political retaliation and part of a corrupt system favoring wealthy elites and political interests. James had endorsed Mamdani earlier this year, and he recently secured the Democratic nomination for mayor, with the race now including him, Andrew cuomo, and Republican Curtis Sliwa.<\/p>\n<p>The rally will be streamed live, and both Mamdani&#8217;s campaign and James&#8217;s office have not issued comments about the indictment or the event.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Letitia James to headline Mamdani rally in New York mayoral race<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2372094\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Recently indicted New York Attorney General <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/letitia-james\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Letitia James<\/a> will headline a rally for New York Democratic mayoral nominee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/zohran-mamdani\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zohran Mamdani<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>A federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3844862\/new-york-attorney-general-letitia-james-indicted-on-bank-fraud-charge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">indicted James<\/a>, who has long clashed with President Donald Trump, on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/convicted-murderer-led-2-million-pandemic-related-unemployment-scheme-in-california-prosecutors-say\/\" title=\"Convicted Murderer Led  Million Pandemic-Related Unemployment Scheme In California, Prosecutors Say\">bank fraud charge<\/a> on Thursday.
