Lawless Letitia James is in big trouble from Saritha Komatireddy

Saritha Komatireddy was a freshman in her first week at Harvard University when terrorists struck New York. She resolved, on 9/11, to become a prosecutor to protect her country and hometown. She’s been doing it ever since.

As an Assistant US Attorney in the Eastern District of New York, she took down terrorists, cartel members and cybercriminals, forging a reputation so impressive that she was named chief of staff of the Drug Enforcement Administration in the back half of the Biden administration, right as it finally began to take the porous southern border seriously.

Now a 41-year-old mother to two sets of twins under the age of 10 living in Manhattan, she’s mounting an insurgent statewide campaign against New York Attorney General Letitia James.

“We’ve had a member of my family assaulted in the subway, taking my kids to school. We have a family friend who had a stray bullet come through her bedroom while she was sleeping,” Komatireddy told The Post.

“New Yorkers don’t feel safe, they feel less safe now than when Tish James began as attorney general and the reason is simple: they are less safe now.

AG James’ Cornell investigation: Letters to the Editor — Oct. 6, 2026

Why Kathy Hochul chose Tish James to probe ‘Cornell 7’: Corrupt bargain? Sleazy campaigning?

NY AG Letitia James should ‘voluntarily recuse herself’ from ‘Cornell 7’ rape investigation over biased statements, lawyer for fraternity brother says

“She stopped doing the job.”

Those are the weighty charges Komatireddy is leveling against James, who is something of a celebrity on the left thanks to her overblown civil lawsuit against Donald Trump.

But while the AG’s pursuit of hyper-partisan vanity projects endeared her to her fellow professional Democrats and the media, Komatireddy believes that the public sees them for what they are: a distraction from her core duties.

“For the last eight years, we’ve had an attorney general who is more focused on national politics and burnishing her own brand and celebrity, and that has not served New Yorkers,” says the Republican nominee for James’ office. “We’re all less safe because of it. She’s neglected New York.”
