DOJ Launches Grand Jury Investigation Into Letitia James

Cristina Laila – The Justice Department has launched a grand jury investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James.

According to Fox News, Letitia James has been subpoenaed in an investigation focused on “possible deprivation of rights allegations” related to her civil fraud suit against President Trump.

Fox News reported:

The Department of Justice convened a grand jury to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James, marking an escalation in President Donald Trump’s fight with New York’s top prosecutor.

The investigation is being run out of Albany, New York, and focused on possible deprivation of rights allegations, two well-placed sources familiar with the probe told Fox News Digital.

The investigation is in an early stage, but Fox News Digital has learned that James’s office received subpoenas for documents this week, including for information related to her civil fraud lawsuit against Trump.

James, a Democrat who was elected attorney general in 2018, has long been a target of Trump. James successfully brought civil charges against him for business fraud in 2022 and has had an instrumental role in challenging his current administration’s executive actions in court.

Letitia James is under criminal investigation for deprivation of rights after she targeted President Trump for political purposes.

Letitia James’s spokesperson released an absurd statement on Friday.

“Any weaponization of the justice system should disturb every American. We stand strongly behind our successful litigation against the Trump Org. and the NRA.. we will continue to stand up for New Yorkers’ rights,” the spox said.
