Letitia James, who holds New York state’s top law enforcement position, has come under scrutiny from some, claiming she was engaging in “lawfare” against the crypto industry.
Khurram Dara, a former policy counsel at cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, is considering a run for New York State Attorney General in 2026, aiming to replace Letitia James.
In comments to Cointelegraph, Dara said he had not yet decided whether to run for the state’s law enforcement office, but hinted that digital assets could play a role in his campaign if he chooses to do so.
With more than a year until the election, the Columbia Law School graduate has already posted to social media in support of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm, found guilty in New York’s federal court in August, and gone after figures like Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has often connected crypto with illegal activities.
