New York Attorney General Letitia James has been criminally indicted on federal charges by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia. The indictment alleges bank fraud and making false statements regarding a mortgage loan for a house in Norfolk, Virginia. James claims the charges are baseless and part of a 'desperate weaponization of our justice system' by President Trump, who had publicly pressured prosecutors to file charges against her. The case is related to James' purchase of a three-bedroom home in Norfolk, which she allegedly used as a rental property instead of a secondary residence as required by the mortgage loan. James' attorney argues that the case is driven by Trump's desire for revenge.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on two counts related to a mortgage for a home she purchased in Norfolk, Virginia in 2020. The indictment alleges that James misrepresented her intention to use the home as a secondary residence, instead renting it out, which violated her mortgage agreement and allowed her to receive favorable loan terms. James and her lawyer deny the charges, calling them 'baseless' and a 'continuation of the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system.' The case was initiated after a criminal referral was sent to the Justice Department, although the specific house in question was not part of the original referral. Career federal prosecutors in Virginia found little evidence to indicate James knowingly misled banks.
