Grand Jury Clears AG James, Trump's Prosecution Efforts Falter
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Two grand juries in Virginia and New York have declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, marking a rare setback for former President Donald Trumps efforts to prosecute his political opponents. The federal case, alleging bank fraud and false statements, was dismissed earlier this month due to a prosecutors lack of legal standing. James, who had previously charged Trump, maintained the case was politically motivated. The grand juries, made up of everyday citizens, determine if theres enough evidence for a case, not guilt or innocence. The federal government claimed James lied about her home purchase, but unnamed sources suggest it was for her great-niece. James lawyer calls the prosecution a stain on the Department of Justices reputation, warning against further attempts to revive the discredited charges.
