New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on one count of bank fraud as part of a mortgage fraud investigation, according to reports from Reuters and the Associated Press. The indictment, which remains sealed, raises questions about the evidence against her. James has been a prominent critic of former President Donald Trump, having previously brought a civil fraud case against him that resulted in a significant penalty, later overturned by an appeals court. The indictment is perceived as part of a political retribution campaign by the Trump administration against those who have pursued legal actions against him. James's lawyer has dismissed the allegations as baseless. The Department of Justice is also investigating other Democratic figures, including Senator Adam Schiff, for similar allegations. The situation highlights the unusual nature of government lawyers facing criminal investigations over their legal actions.
