Decision comes less than two weeks after judge ruled similar case against New York attorney general unlawful
A grand jury declined to indict Letitia James on Thursday, according to a source familiar with the decision, which came less than two weeks after a judge ruled that a similar mortgage fraud case brought by federal prosecutors against the New York attorney general was unlawful.
The move by the justice department to present the case again to a grand jury was seen as a signal of its determination to prosecute James, who has been one of Donald Trump’s top political foes ever since she successfully brought a fraud lawsuit against him in New York.
