DOJ Launches Probes into New York Attorney General Letitia James and U.S. Senator Adam Schiff

HeadlineAug 11, 2025

In the latest escalation against his perceived political enemies, President Trump’s Justice Department launched investigations into New York Attorney General Letitia James and U.S. Senator Adam Schiff. Attorney General Pam Bondi has tapped a special attorney to investigate mortgage fraud claims against Schiff and James. The DOJ also issued a subpoena to James for records about her successful civil lawsuits against the Trump Organization and the National Rifle Association. James won her civil case against Trump back in 2023, accusing him of unlawfully inflating the value of his properties to receive favorable deals on loans.
