A federal grand jury in Virginia has indicted New York State attorney general Letitia James in connection with allegations of mortgage fraud, the latest instance of the Justice Department pursuing the prosecution of President Donald Trump ’s political enemies. James was indicted on two counts: bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution.

The indictment comes at the direction of Lindsey Halligan, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who was appointed after her predecessor, Erik Siebert, resigned under pressure for declining to pursue charges against James and former FBI director James Comey .
