Another source familiar with the case told <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2025\/12\/04\/politics\/grand-jury-declines-to-indict-letitia-james-again\">CNN<\/a> that the development should not be interpreted as a final outcome, noting that prosecutors could attempt to seek an indictment a third time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new setback comes three days after reports that the Justice Department was preparing to bring fresh charges against both Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey, whose original indictments were dismissed by Senior U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judge McGowan ruled that Lindsey Halligan, the interim U.S. Attorney who presented the original cases, lacked lawful authority to serve in that role, voiding all actions she had taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judge dismissed both cases without prejudice, allowing prosecutors to refile them with proper authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump, speaking aboard Air Force One last week, said the dismissed indictments were the result of a \u201ctechnicality\u201d and that prosecutors retained \u201ca lot of options.\u201d He noted that the court did not bar the government from refiling or appealing the cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial indictment against Letitia James accused her of bank fraud and making false statements in connection with a mortgage application. Comey had been charged with making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal grand jury has declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James after prosecutors asked it to reconsider a mortgage-fraud case that was dismissed two weeks ago, according to reports from NBC News and CNN.
