Justice Department indicts Letitia James after pressure from Trump
By Carrie Johnson, NPR
A federal grand jury in Virginia has indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on one count of bank fraud and one count of making false statement to a financial institution — charges that come after steady pressure from President Trump to prosecute one of his longtime political foes.
James, a Democrat who pledged to investigate Trump during her campaign, eventually sued Trump and his company for inflating the value of some of its properties, winning more than $450 million in the civil business fraud case.
