New York Attorney General Letitia James Indicted
A federal grand jury indicted Letitia James on Thursday on allegations of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution.
The two-count indictment was obtained by Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan.
“This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system,” James said in a video responding to the indictment. “He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding all because I did by job as the New York state attorney general. These charges are baseless.”
President Donald Trump appointed Halligan in September after Erik Siebert, under pressure from Trump to bring charges, resigned.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights. pic.twitter.com/X9U0EsHuGM
