A grand jury has criminally indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James after President Trump instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to go after his political enemies, writing on X, “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility.” Lindsey Halligan, whom President Trump installed to serve as U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia, presented the case to the grand jury. Last month, Halligan secured charges against James Comey, the former FBI director. Trump forced out his previous U.S. attorney for refusing to bring charges against Comey and James. This is Attorney General Letitia James.

Attorney General Letitia James: “This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding. … And so, today, I’m not fearful. I’m fearless.”
