NY Times - Among the long list of political adversaries President Trump has targeted in his second term are several Black women in powerful positions.
There’s Lisa Cook, who serves on the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, which has stood in the way of Mr. Trump’s desire to lower interest rates. And Fani T. Willis, the Georgia prosecutor who brought election interference charges against him.
And now, there is Attorney General Letitia James of New York, who brought a civil case against Mr. Trump and won.
All three women have risen to their posts as firsts. Ms. James is the first woman in New York to be elected attorney general and the first African American woman elected to statewide office. Ms. Willis is the first woman to serve as the district attorney for Fulton County, while Ms. Cook is the first Black woman to serve on the Federal Reserve board.
