Grand jury refuses to charge Letitia James as DOJ keeps pushing for indictment

A grand jury declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday, marking the second time in one week that the Department of Justice was unable to secure charges against one of President Donald Trump's top political foes.

The grand jury heard the case against James in Alexandria, Virginia, two sources told Fox News, after a separate grand jury declined to indict James in Norfolk last week.

A judge dismissed the initial case against James after finding that the prosecutor who brought the case, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed as U.S. attorney.
