Breaking News: Grand Jury Clears NY AG Letitia James of Mortgage Fraud Charges
A grand jury in Virginia has rejected a new indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James, clearing her of mortgage fraud charges. The decision comes after a judge dismissed the previous prosecution, citing the illegal appointment of the U.S. attorney who presented the case.
Letitia James, a longtime target of President Donald Trump, was not guilty of the charges. The grand jury's rejection of the indictment marks a significant setback for the Justice Department in its bid to prosecute James and other Trump foes.
The case against James and former FBI Director James Comey was halted due to the improper appointment of the U.S. attorney. Prosecutors went back to the grand jury, but the jurors rejected the request to bring charges.
This is the latest development in a long-standing feud between Trump and James, who has been a vocal critic of the former president. The Justice Department is expected to try again for an indictment, but for now, James is cleared of the mortgage fraud charges.
This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
