What we can confirm

Multiple reputable-media reports published on October 2, 2026 quote Trump saying, “I feel badly for whoever she’s looking at because they won’t get a fair shake,” referring to the people investigated by New York Attorney General Letitia James in the Cornell case. The wording supports the claim, although “felt badly for Cornell frat members” is a paraphrase of his conditional statement rather than a verbatim formulation.
