Justice Department launches grand jury probe of N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James
Briefly

The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated a federal grand jury investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James, focusing on her civil fraud case against President Trump and his businesses. The investigation is led by the top federal prosecutor in Albany. James has been publicly criticized by Trump, who accuses her of political bias. The DOJ is exploring whether James violated Trump and his children's rights during her suit. Additionally, the department is investigating James for alleged mortgage fraud.
"Investigating the fraud case Attorney General James won against President Trump and his businesses has to be the most blatant and desperate example of this administration's carrying out the president's political retribution campaign."
"Weaponizing the Department of Justice to try to punish an elected official for doing her job is an attack on the rule of law and a dangerous escalation by this administration."
