US EditionRead: Judge’s Order Dismissing Doj Case Against Letitia James
A federal judge ruled the prosecutor's appointment unconstitutional, dismissing charges tied to a pressured indictment linked to political interference, said court officials.
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie in Virginia federal court dismissed criminal charges against Letitia 'Tish' James, New York Attorney General, citing an unconstitutional prosecutor appointment and tossing the indictment with prejudice.
- Thirty days ago Letitia 'Tish' James entered a not-guilty plea to mortgage-fraud charges and filed a motion asking Judge Currie to dismiss the indictment brought by the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after President Donald Trump forced out Erik Siebert.
- Prosecutors alleged James cosigned a mortgage for her niece in Norfolk, Virginia, and last year a state appeals court disqualified her after revealing a relationship with one of James's lawyers.
- Responding to the dismissal, Letitia 'Tish' James, New York Attorney General, said she was heartened by the ruling and remains fearless while continuing to fight for New Yorkers.
- In February 2024, James's office secured a civil fraud judgment against President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization, later overturned on appeal, as reporters say she faces retribution amid scrutiny of high-profile Black women in public service.
