US EditionLetitia James speaks out after pleading not guilty in court
Letitia James denies allegations of mortgage fraud involving a $100,000 loan for a Norfolk property, with trial set for January 26, officials said.
- This month, New York Attorney General Letitia James pleaded not guilty in a Norfolk federal courtroom, facing charges of bank fraud and making false statements.

- After career prosecutors balked, Lindsey Halligan, acting U.S. attorney for Eastern District of Virginia, replaced Erik Siebert amid objections about her experience, and James’s team challenges her appointment as unlawful.
- A felony trial is scheduled to begin on January 26, 2026, with Judge Jamar Walker overseeing; James was released on bail with no conditions, and prosecutors expect to call 8 to 10 witnesses.
- Having previously sued Donald Trump, James’s case adds to a broader legal feud after she secured a $500 million civil fraud judgment, with the NAACP planning a Sunday demonstration.
