New York state Attorney General Letitia James was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Virginia on charges of bank fraud and making false claims to a financial institution that netted her nearly $19,000 in savings on a loan for a second home, according to the Department of Justice.
The indictment was handed up in the Eastern District of Virginia, where former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Sept. 25 on charges of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice
“No one is above the law. The charges as alleged in this case represent intentional, criminal acts and tremendous breaches of the public’s trust,” US Attorney Lindsey Halligan said in a statement. “The facts and the law in this case are clear, and we will continue following them to ensure that justice is served.”
James responded in a statement: “This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General.”
“These charges are baseless, and the president’s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost,” she added. “The president’s actions are a grave violation of our Constitutional order and have drawn sharp criticism from members of both parties.”

‘BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS’: Trump secures peace deal to bring hostages home
Wednesday night, US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hamas have reached a US-brokered agreement to end the war in Gaza and release all remaining hostages, calling it “a great day for the world.” The deal, negotiated in Egypt’s resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh with mediation from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, marks the first phase of what Trump described as “a strong, durable, and everlasting peace.”
Speaking on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Trump said the first group of hostages, including the remains of those killed, would “probably be released on Monday.”
“They are in a terrible situation there, deep in the earth,” Trump said, referring to Hamas’s tunnel network beneath Gaza. “As we speak, so much is happening to get the hostages freed. We think they will all be coming back on Monday… and that will include the bodies of the dead.”
Trump credited “tremendous help” from his administration, naming Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, Marco Rubio, JD Vance, and others, for securing the breakthrough. “The whole world came together… countries you wouldn’t even think of have signed on,” he said. “This is more than Gaza. This is peace in the Middle East.”
Trump got word that a deal was imminent while hosting a roundtable at the White House with reporters recounting their work documenting leftist, Antifa violence across the country.
