ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A grand jury has declined for a second time in a week to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James. A grand jury rejection is an unusual circumstance in any case, and the repeated failures amount to a stunning rebuke of prosecutors’ bid to resurrect a criminal case President Donald Trump pressured them to bring. The failure to secure an indictment was confirmed by two people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to publicly discuss the case and spoke on the condition of anonymity. James was initially charged with bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution in connection with a home purchase in 2020.
