The Brief

NEW YORK - A federal grand jury indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on a fraud charge Thursday, according to a person familiar with the case, as reported by the Associated Press.

What we know:

James was indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia on one count after a mortgage fraud investigation, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.

The Trump administration has been investigating James for months over allegations of mortgage fraud, which she has denied. When the accusations first surfaced, James’ office called them "intimidation" from Trump’s team.

James’ office had no immediate comment Thursday.
