New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on federal charges of mortgage fraud, which could carry a maximum sentence of 60 years. The indictment, brought by a Trump-appointed prosecutor, has been criticized as politically motivated retribution by James and her supporters. James has hired a lawyer to defend her against the charges, which could cost up to $10 million. Despite the indictment, James will remain in her position as New York's Attorney General. The case against James is complex and involves allegations of false statements made to banks and other entities during a mortgage application process. The indictment comes amidst a long-standing feud between James and former President Trump, who has been a vocal critic of the New York Attorney General's investigations into his business dealings.
