"They say, a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich. But apparently not Letitia James. Her attorney is here to respond, after an embarrassing defeat for the Trump Justice Department. I'm Kaitlan Collins. And this is THE SOURCE. We begin tonight with major breaking news, and a pretty big embarrassment for the Justice Department and President Trump's relentless pursuit of revenge by using the powers of his office to go after his political enemies."
"A federal grand jury in Virginia was asked today to re-indict the New York Attorney General, Letitia James. And the grand jury said, no. A grand jury refusing to indict someone, which is a much lower bar than a trial, is pretty rare. But this is now the second time, the Justice Department has tried to prosecute James for alleged mortgage fraud and not had it work out."
A federal grand jury in Virginia declined to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on alleged mortgage fraud charges. The refusal followed a prior dismissal after a judge threw out the first case because of the improper appointment of interim U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan. A different prosecutor was assigned for the second attempt, which also failed to secure an indictment. The decision constitutes a rare grand jury refusal and marks the second unsuccessful prosecution effort by the Justice Department targeting James. President Trump has publicly criticized James since her civil case against him and his company.
