New York Attorney General Letitia James, a longtime foe of President Donald Trump, was indicted for bank fraud on Thursday, a person familiar with the matter said, as the administration seeks to use government power against those who have pursued investigations into him or publicly resisted his agenda.
Trump, a Republican who campaigned for reelection in part on a vow of retribution after facing a slew of legal woes since his first term in the White House ended in 2021, has repeatedly assailed James on social media and at political rallies as a partisan enemy.
The indictment of James comes after a grand jury in Virginia on September 25 indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional investigation. Comey has said he is innocent. Trump has regularly assailed Comey's handling of the FBI investigation that detailed contacts between Russia and Trump's 2016 campaign.
James is one of several Democratic state attorneys general who have sued to block Trump administration actions. She is best known for bringing a civil fraud case against Trump and his family real estate company in 2022. The case resulted in a $454.2 million penalty against Trump after a judge found he fraudulently overstated his net worth to dupe lenders.
A New York state appeals court in August threw out the penalty, which had grown to more than a half-billion dollars with interest, but upheld the trial judge's finding that Trump was liable for fraud. Both Trump and James' office are appealing to the state's highest court.
Trump denied wrongdoing. He has accused James' office of bringing the case against him for political reasons.
The Senate fails to advance legislation to end the government shutdown for the seventh time. There has been no sign of significant progress to ending the impasse. Lawmakers are openly venting their frustration.
President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the Gaza hostages should be released on Monday or Tuesday and that he hopes to attend a signing ceremony in Egypt.
Trump opened a a White House Cabinet meeting to discuss the deal reached on Wednesday under which the hostages held by Hamas militants are to be released as part of a first phase of a broader Gaza plan. He said he believed it will lead to "lasting peace."

President Trump's historic peace deal with Israel and Hamas should qualify him for the Nobel Peace Prize. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews President, Yael Eckstein, joins Mike to discuss this historic deal.
Redistricting, Vote Counting, & PA Registering Illegals For Voting
With J. Christian Adams, President of the Public Interest Legal Foundation and a former DOJ attorney.
Israel and Hamas have agreed to a deal that could mark the first step toward ending the two-year conflict in Gaza.
The agreement, brokered under President Donald Trump’s peace plan, calls for a pause in fighting to allow the release of remaining hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
President Trump described the development as “the first steps toward a strong, durable, and everlasting peace,” adding that hostages could be released as soon as Monday.
Negotiators in Egypt say the move could pave the way for a long-term ceasefire, while Palestinians in Gaza are responding with cautious optimism.
Chicago is seeing a heavy National Guard presence overnight, with 500 troops deployed following orders from President Donald Trump. The move comes amid ongoing protests in the city.
A federal judge is scheduled to hear arguments today regarding the president’s decision.
The lawsuit, filed by the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago, seeks to block the deployment of both Illinois and Texas National Guard members, calling the action unnecessary and illegal.
Video footage shows protesters in the city late last night as tensions continue to mount.
