A federal grand jury declined to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday, marking the second failed attempt by the Department of Justice to prosecute her. The initial mortgage fraud case was dismissed in November by a judge who found the prosecutor unlawfully appointed. James, a Democrat, has accused President Trump of politically motivated retribution after her office brought a civil fraud case against him. James maintains the allegations against her are baseless and decries the weaponization of the justice system. Despite the grand jury's decision, prosecutors are reportedly planning to seek a new indictment against James.
