Attorney General Tish James Indicted
A grand jury in Virginia indicted New York Attorney General Letitia (Tish) James on charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution related to a mortgage she obtained in 2020. The Trump-appointed judge had reinvigorated the case after a 5-month investigation led by the previous judge found no evidence that James had made false statements related to a different home purchase in Virginia. James said,
“These charges are baseless, and the president’s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost. The president’s actions are a grave violation of our constitutional order and have drawn sharp criticism from members of both parties. … I stand strongly behind my office’s litigation against the Trump organization. We conducted a two-year investigation based on the facts and evidence — not politics.”
