Trump’s public urging for Letitia James and James Comey to be indicted could give the defendants fodder to have their cases thrown out.

Ms. James is accused of committing mortgage fraud. Her indictment follows a case brought against the former F.B.I. director James Comey.

New York Attorney General Letitia James previously sued President Trump in a civil case that led to him and his company being held liable for business fraud.
