A federal grand jury on Thursday refused to indict former New York Attorney General Letitia James for a second time in about a week, according to two sources familiar with grand jury proceedings — as prosecutors struggle to revive a criminal case against the Trump foe.
Federal prosecutors presented James' case to grand jurors in Alexandria, Virginia, after a separate grand jury in Norfolk, Virginia, turned down the case last week.
The dual setbacks are extremely unusual, as grand juries almost never decline to indict people. In the 2016 fiscal year, federal prosecutors reported not bringing charges because they failed to get an indictment just six times, out of more than 150,000 arrests, according to Justice Department figures .
