According to a Wednesday NBC News report, this vow is in line with James’ campaign, which included a push to pass a bill to to change the state’s double jeopardy laws and blunt the power of possible presidential pardons.

“We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well,” James told NBC News.
