US EditionNew York Attorney General Letitia James pleads not guilty in federal bank fraud case
- Friday, New York Attorney General Letitia James pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Norfolk to a mortgage fraud indictment tied to a 2020 mortgage.
- Earlier this month Letitia James called the charges `baseless` after President Donald Trump publicly urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to target her weeks before the indictment.
- Unusually, interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, former Trump personal lawyer with no prior prosecutorial experience, personally presented evidence to a grand jury despite career prosecutors' objections.
- James filed a motion to enforce rules on extrajudicial disclosures, citing Halligan's comments, while James Comey already challenged Halligan's interim appointment in court.
- The indictment alleges approximately $18,933 in ill-gotten gains and one count each of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution, fueling debates on selective prosecutions and public trust.
