New York Attorney General Letitia James criminally indicted

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been criminally indicted on federal charges by a grand jury.

James, who led a civil fraud investigation against Trump in 2023, was indicted in Alexandria, Virginia, according to the BBC's US partner, CBS News.

The federal grand jury received the case on Thursday. The charges against her were not immediately clear, but it was reported that she was indicted over mortgage fraud allegations.

The BBC has contacted James' office for comment.

The Justice Department had previously investigated James for mortgage fraud, alleging she falsified bank and property records to receive better loan agreements, an administration official told the BBC at the time.

Officials with the Federal Housing Finance Agency had accused James of claiming a property in Norfolk, Virginia, as her primary residence in 2023 - when she was the top New York prosecutor - to secure a lower interest rate on a loan. Mortgages for primary residences typically come with better terms.
