A grand jury declined to re‑indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for the second time this week, shelving a mortgage‑fraud case that had been pushed forward at the behest of former President Donald Trump, say sources close to the proceedings.
The move marks another setback for the Justice Department after a judge tossed earlier charges against James and former FBI chief James Comey last November, ruling that the prosecutor who presented the case—Lindsey Halligan—had been improperly appointed as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
After a separate grand jury in Norfolk rejected the indictment last week, the Department asked a different grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, to reconsider. An unnamed source—who could not speak publicly—confessed that the second jury again refused to bring new charges.
The case hinges on allegations that James bought a modest house in Norfolk, where she has family ties. She maintains that the action is politically motivated and denies any wrongdoing.
