US EditionGrand jury rejects new mortgage fraud indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James
A federal grand jury in Virginia declined to re-indict Letitia James after a judge dismissed the original case due to an unlawful appointment of the lead prosecutor.
- On Thursday, the Justice Department failed to secure an indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James after a Norfolk, Virginia grand jury presentation less than two weeks after the original case dismissal.
- A judge found Acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan's appointment unlawful, which voided the earlier case on Nov. 24, and the Justice Department opted to seek a new indictment after initially vowing to appeal.
- Previously, James had been indicted on bank fraud and false-statement counts, and she denies any wrongdoing amid renewed grand-jury activity.
- The failed presentation does not prevent prosecutors from trying again, and the Justice Department declined to comment on grand jury matters as sources urged caution.
- Political pressure from the White House has factored into staffing and prosecutorial choices, as President Donald Trump named Halligan after ousting Erik Siebert and urged officials to pursue prosecutions.
