D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine, seen in his office Thursday, has been quick to challenge President Trump in the courts. By Peter Jamison Peter Jamison Reporter covering D.C. politics and government Email Bio Follow March 9 at 8:00 AM Three years into his first term as the District’s first elected attorney general, Karl A. Racine was looking for a way out.
Trump’s calling out of Racine by name during an address to the National Association of Attorneys General was a mark of arrival for Racine, who had a low profile even among his own constituents just two years ago. A June 2017 poll by The Washington Post found that more than 7 in 10 District residents had no opinion of him.
Speculation increased Thursday, when Racine endorsed Sen. Kamala D. Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination. Trump points to Racine as he speaks to the National Association of Attorneys General on Monday in the White House. Racine immigrated to the United States from Haiti at age 3 and rose to the pinnacle of Washington’s high-powered private legal establishment before entering politics full time at age 51. Observers of the District’s political scene say he has always been underrated.
He said the idea of being mayor still appeals to him, in particular the chance to improve social services in a city whose feverish development boom has amplified long-standing racial and class divides. “There were massive problems of things being not handled in a timely manner and the litigation responsibilities of the office not being adequately handled,” said Paul Zukerberg, a criminal-defense and personal-injury lawyer who ran against Racine in 2014.
Just another pompous fool jumping on the bandwagon against America - not against Trump - against America.
He has more than legal problems he has a credibility problem. His solution to all his problems is the economy is good so everything I do is acceptable. Lies are lies and they have to stop along with the bullying.
