New York Attorney General Letitia James was arraigned Friday at a federal courthouse in Virginia, pleading not guilty to charges of bank fraud and false statements—as legal experts and new reporting continue to undercut the strength of the government’s case against the longtime Trump foe.
James was arraigned at 11 a.m. EDT in the Eastern District of Virginia, entering her plea of not guilty after she was indicted on counts of bank fraud and false statements to financial institutions.
The New York attorney general, a longtime political enemy of President Donald Trump, was indicted based on allegations that she improperly claimed a property in Virginia was a second residence rather than an investment property, allowing her to obtain better terms on her mortgage.
