Trump taps longtime investigator to serve as next Justice Department watchdog
- In Norfolk, Virginia, a federal grand jury indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on 2.0 counts, and she is scheduled to appear in federal court on Oct. 24.
- The filing says the indictment alleges James misrepresented the Virginia property as her principal residence, saving roughly $18,933 and renting it out to obtain favorable loan terms.
- James previously sued Donald J. Trump, using Michael Cohen's sworn testimony, and won a civil case alleging he overstated real-estate values to obtain loans.

Lindsey Halligan emphasized that `No one is above the law` in response to the indictment.
