Grand jury refuses new fraud indictment against Letitia James

A judge has dismissed the mortgage fraud case against New York Attorney General Letitia James. A grand jury in Virginia rejected the Justice Department’s request for a new indictment against James. It’s the latest setback for federal prosecutors in their bid to prosecute the frequent political target of Donald Trump. James, who was charged with bank fraud and making false statements, denied any wrongdoing, and accused the administration of using the justice system to seek revenge against the president’s political opponents.
