4. Federal grand jury indicts NY Attorney General Letitia James

The office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia released a statement Thursday announcing that a federal grand jury had indicted New York’s Democratic Attorney General Letitia James, one of the most high-profile foes of the Trump administration, on charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution. If convicted, James faces the possibility of up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million on each count. 

The indictment, the latest development in the federal government’s ongoing litigation against James, alleges that the New York Attorney General purchased a home in Norfolk, Virginia, for the stated purpose of serving as her secondary residence. Under the terms of a financial agreement signed by James, the Democratic politician vowed not to use the property for rental or timeshare purposes. 

According to the indictment, James never lived at the property and ended up renting the home out to a family of three. “This misrepresentation allowed JAMES to obtain favorable loan terms not available for investment properties,” the legal document stated. 

Tax documents submitted by James, signed under penalty of perjury, identified the Norfolk home as rental real estate and included information about rental income she had received from the property. James released a statement Thursday denouncing the charges against her as “baseless” and “a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system,” insisting that the litigation against her was based on personal animus and not any wrongdoing.
