DOJ opens grand jury investigation into Letitia James tied to Trump civil case

  • A grand jury in Albany has been assembled by federal prosecutors to investigate the state's top legal official over her civil fraud lawsuits targeting Donald Trump and the National Rifle Association.
  • The investigation focuses on whether James' office committed deprivation of rights by pursuing lawsuits that allegedly targeted Trump and another instance unlawfully.
  • James led successful litigation suing Trump and his businesses for inflating property values, winning more than $300 million, and forced structural reform of the NRA through related suits.
  • James' personal lawyer Abbe Lowell criticized the investigation as a politically motivated retaliation effort and stated that if prosecutors pursue questionable methods yet truly seek the facts, they are prepared to present all relevant evidence and legal arguments.
  • James' office declined to discuss subpoenas but affirmed it stands behind its litigation successes and will continue defending New Yorkers' rights amid the ongoing investigation.
