Second Grand Jury Declines to Indict New York AG Letitia James

A federal grand jury in Virginia has declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud, marking the second rejection of charges after a previous case was dismissed due to the unlawful appointment of the U.S. attorney. Prosecutors had accused James of misleading a bank to secure favorable loan terms, but the grand jury in Alexandria, following another in Norfolk, found insufficient evidence. James’ attorney stated that the repeated refusals highlight the baselessness of the charges. James has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
