DOJ tried, failed to add third felony charge against Letitia James: Court documents

A federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, rejected the Justice Department’s effort to add a third felony charge against Letitia James, highlighting repeated failures to indict her.

  • The U.S. Justice Department attempted to add a third mortgage fraud related felony charge against New York Attorney General Letitia James last week, but a federal grand jury declined to bring that indictment.
  • James was indicted in October on one count of making false statements to a financial institution and one count of bank fraud regarding a Virginia home mortgage, but that indictment was dismissed in November.
  • The Justice Department tried to seal the failed third indictment, citing grand jury secrecy, but a judge denied the request since the grand jury's decision was already reported.
