James had brought a civil fraud case against Trump, resulting in a US$454.2 million penalty that was later thrown out on appeal
New York Attorney General Letitia James, a long-time foe of US 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.
The details of the indictment, returned by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia, were not immediately clear. The US Justice Department has been probing mortgage fraud allegations against her.
Neither James’ lawyers nor representatives of her office immediately responded to requests for comment.
