A federal grand jury declined to reinstate a criminal case against New York Attorney General Letitia James. This follows a prior dismissal of charges by a judge against James, who has been a notable critic of United States President Donald Trump.

The indictment on Thursday represents the Department of Justice's second unsuccessful attempt to prosecute James, an elected Democrat, following her civil fraud case against Trump and his family business.

In November, US District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie dismissed a mortgage fraud case against James, citing the unlawful appointment of federal prosecutor Lindsey Halligan.

James described the prosecution attempts as politically driven, labeling the allegations as unfounded. She called for an end to the misuse of the justice system.

Her attorney, Abbe Lowell, stated that any further pursuit of the case would be a significant affront to legal integrity.

Lowell further commented, "The grand jury’s refusal to re-indict Attorney General James is a decisive rejection of a case that should never have existed."

Despite the grand jury's decision, federal prosecutors are reportedly considering a new indictment against James, according to sources cited by Reuters.

Following James's civil case against Trump, a judge in 2024 mandated a $450 million penalty after determining fraudulent misrepresentation of net worth. A New York state appeals court later annulled the penalty but upheld the fraud liability finding.

Trump has characterized the legal actions as part of a political "witch-hunt," which included other dismissed criminal cases.

James is among three prominent Trump critics facing federal charges recently, alongside former FBI Director James Comey and former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton. A case against Comey was dismissed in late November by Judge Currie, due to the same unlawful appointment issue.

Bolton has pleaded not guilty to federal charges related to sharing sensitive information and retaining classified material.
