From NY Times:
A prosecutor handpicked by President Trump secured an indictment of New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, on bank fraud and false statement charges in the Eastern District of Virginia on Thursday after the president publicly demanded Ms. James be charged.
The investigation of Ms. James, a New York Democrat who brought a civil case against Mr. Trump, focused on two homes she owned in Norfolk, Va., and Brooklyn. A Trump housing official had referred the case to the Justice Department, suggesting that Ms. James might have falsified records related to those homes.
The indictment of Ms. James came two weeks after the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, indicted James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, on charges he lied to Congress. Mr. Comey pleaded not guilty on Wednesday and accused Ms. Halligan of vindictive and selective prosecution.
In both cases, the career prosecutors who conducted the investigations reported that there was insufficient evidence to bring charges, and Ms. Halligan’s predecessor declined to bring either case before the grand jury.
The case, being pursued in Alexandria, Va., came less than three weeks after Mr. Trump forced out the top federal prosecutor there, who had told superiors that there was insufficient evidence to justify criminal charges. In his place, the president installed Ms. Halligan, a White House aide with no prosecutorial experience.
Ms. Halligan made the grand jury presentation in the James case on Thursday.
