**JUST IN: Another Setback for Trump as Grand Jury Refuses to Indict Letitia James**
WASHINGTON — A federal grand jury in Norfolk, Virginia, has declined to re-indict Letitia James — the New York Attorney General and longtime political adversary of former President Donald J. Trump.
That refusal comes just days after a judge dismissed the first round of charges against James on the grounds that the prosecutor who brought them — Lindsey Halligan — had been unlawfully appointed.
Despite the opportunity to lay out a fresh case under a different prosecutor, the grand jury chose not to indict. Prosecutors had accused James of mortgage fraud and false statements tied to a 2020 home loan in Virginia.
For Trump, who has publicly called for James’s prosecution — describing her as “guilty as hell” and urging federal prosecutors to act — this represents another legal and political blow.
In a show of frustration, Trump reportedly responded with a terse five-word message on social media after the grand jury’s decision — a cryptic outburst that underscored the magnitude of the setback.
Critics of the effort called the case — now twice rejected — a clear example of politicized justice. James’s attorneys described the grand jury’s refusal as a “decisive rejection” of a case they say should never have been filed.
But while the refusal to indict is a rare defeat for prosecutors — grand juries historically accept the majority of cases presented — the Justice Department has not yet ruled out trying again. Sources indicate the investigation remains open, meaning a third attempt to bring charges is possible.
For now, though, Letitia James walks away once more without criminal charges — a fresh humiliation for Trump’s so-called “retribution campaign” against his critics.
