Letitia James, the New York Attorney General and a vocal opponent of former President Trump, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges related to bank and mortgage fraud. The indictment has been described as a result of intense political pressure from Trump and his administration, raising concerns about the weaponization of the justice system. Allies of James have condemned the indictment, calling it a manifestation of tyranny, while she herself has responded, labeling the charges a desperate move amid ongoing investigations. This has further sparked a national dialogue about the influence of political motives in legal actions.
