According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on the 9th, New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James has been charged with charges including "bank fraud" and "making false statements to financial institutions."

During former U.S. President Biden's reign, James led the civil fraud investigation and filed lawsuits against the Trump Group, but now she herself faces criminal charges from prosecutors appointed by President Trump.

Court documents show that prosecutors accused James of lying about the property as her ¡°second home¡± when buying a property in Norfolk, Virginia, and thus receiving a loan preference, while in fact the property was rented by her.

Lindsey Halligan, the prosecutor in charge of the case, said: "The charges involved are intentional criminal conduct that seriously deviates from public trust. The facts and legal basis of the case are clear, and we will continue to advance in accordance with the law to ensure that justice is served."

According to the report, Halligan was a private lawyer for Trump and was appointed by Trump to be the prosecutor in charge of the district case. Earlier this year, former prosecutor Erik Siebert was dismissed after he stated in the report that the case was "insufficient evidence" and then Trump appointed Halligan to take over the case.

In response, James issued a statement denying the allegations and accused Trump of "weaponizing the judicial system." "He forced federal law enforcement agencies to work for him simply because I fulfilled my duties as New York State Attorney General... These allegations are baseless, and the president's own public statements make it clear that his only goal is to do whatever it takes. Political retaliation."

James is expected to appear in court on October 24th, and if the charges are established, she will face up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million.

In September this year, Trump posted on social media publicly urging U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondy to prosecute several political opponents including James, including former FBI Director James Comey. On September 25, Comey was prosecuted in the jurisdiction he belonged to in Haligan on allegations of false statements and obstructing Congressional procedures, and Comey subsequently declined guilty.
