Letitia James Case Shows Ruthlessness of Justice Dept. in Trump’s Grip

The Justice Department’s indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James—on Virginia grand jury charges tied to her mortgage paperwork—has become a showcase of President Trump’s second-term strategy of retribution. As she prepares to appear in a Virginia court, Trump-aligned media spotlight her relatives, magnifying reputational damage that a former U.S. attorney says appears to be the goal. The inquiry could sap one of Trump’s chief adversaries and complicate the civil fraud case she brought against him, even as some experts question the evidence. A DOJ official teased the charges online; the department declined comment.
