A federal grand jury has declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage fraud charges for the second time in a week. Previously, a judge dismissed an indictment after determining that the prosecutor handling the case had not been properly appointed. Despite the Department of Justice's reported attempts to file new charges against James following that dismissal, the grand jury's refusal to indict is an outcome considered extremely rare. This sequence of events has been portrayed as an embarrassment to the Trump Justice Department and its pursuit of a political rival. The situation continues to develop, with more details expected to emerge.
