Breaking News: Grand Jury Stands Firm, Refuses Indictment for New York AG
In a surprising turn of events, a federal grand jury in Virginia has once again declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, leaving many questions unanswered and sparking controversy.
The grand jury's decision, announced on December 11, 2025, marks the second time in recent weeks that they've rejected charges of mortgage fraud against James. This development has sent shockwaves through the legal community and left many wondering about the future of this high-profile case.
But here's where it gets controversial... The Department of Justice (DOJ) had attempted to refile the case after a federal judge dismissed an earlier indictment due to the unlawful appointment of the U.S. attorney. Despite this, the grand jury stood firm, refusing to indict James.
According to sources, federal prosecutors failed to convince a majority of grand jurors that James had misled a bank to obtain favorable loan terms. This decision comes after a previous grand jury in Norfolk, Virginia, also rejected the charges.
And this is the part most people miss... The DOJ spokesperson has not yet responded to ABC News' request for comment, and James' attorney has also remained silent. However, the allegations against James are serious, with prosecutors claiming she falsely listed a property as a second home to save thousands of dollars in mortgage rates.
As ABC News previously reported, evidence gathered during the investigation appeared to weaken some of the allegations against James, particularly regarding her personal financial gain from the property purchase.
James has consistently denied any wrongdoing, but the grand jury's decision not to indict her raises questions about the strength of the case and the potential impact on her career.
