Grand Jury Refuses to Reindict Letitia James

A federal grand jury has rejected a bid by the Trump Justice Department to reindict New York Attorney General Letitia James. The no true bill was reportedly returned late on Thursday.

James was initially indicted on October 9 by Lindsey Halligan, whom Attorney General Pamela Bondi purported to install as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVa), at President Trump’s direction. This was after Trump banished Erik Siebert, then the district’s interim U.S. attorney, when Siebert refused to indict James and former FBI Director James Comey — believing the evidence of wrongdoing was too weak.
