Letitia James - New York attorney general and long-time critic of Donald Trump - has been indicted for fraud.

Ms James, a Democrat, was charged on Thursday with one count of bank fraud and one count of making false statements to a financial institution, in connection with a home she purchased in Norfolk, Virginia , in 2020.

The 66-year-old could face up to 30 years in prison and up to a $1m (£752m) fine on each count if convicted, according to Sky's US partner network NBC News.

Mr Trump has been advocating charging Ms James for months, posting on social media without citing any evidence that she's "guilty as hell" and telling reporters at the White House: "It looks to me like she's really guilty of something, but I really don't know."
