A federal grand jury has declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to recent reports. The case was previously dismissed last week on a technicality after Judge Cameron Currie ruled that interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan lacked the authority to bring the original charges against James.
The current developments come following Currie’s decision which threw out the initial indictment related to alleged bank fraud and false statements concerning a six-figure loan obtained by James in 2020. Despite this latest setback, prosecutors retain options as they have until December of this year (approximately six months) to refile charges before any further legal action becomes moot.
The source familiar with proceedings confirms that the grand jury declined Thursday’s request to bring new charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James in Alexandria, Virginia federal court.
