Justice Department fails in its 3rd attempt to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A federal grand jury here refused to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday, one federal law enforcement source and another person familiar with the matter told NBC News.

This was the Justice Department's third attempt to prosecute James following a monthslong pressure campaign from President Donald Trump.

A federal judge last month dismissed mortgage-related charges the Justice Department had brought against James, as well as separate, unrelated charges against former FBI Director James Comey, after ruling that the prosecutor in both cases was unlawfully appointed. The president named that prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Virginia.
