Justice Department indicts Letitia James after pressure from Trump

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution by a federal grand jury in Virginia. The charges follow President Trump's calls to prosecute James, who previously won a $450 million civil business fraud case against Trump. The indictment alleges James lied on a mortgage application for a property in Norfolk, Virginia, and benefited from rental proceeds. James has denied the charges, criticizing the president's actions as a misuse of the justice system.
