Trump poised to fire US attorney for resisting effort to charge NY AG Letitia James: Sources
ABC News ^ | 9/18/25 | ABCNews

President Donald Trump is expected to fire the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after investigators were unable to find incriminating evidence of mortgage fraud against New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to sources.

Federal prosecutors in Virginia had uncovered no clear evidence to prove that James had knowingly committed mortgage fraud when she purchased a home in the state in 2023, ABC News first reported earlier this week, but Trump officials pushed U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert to nevertheless bring criminal charges against her, according to sources.

Trump nominated Siebert for the position in May. Sources familiar with the matter said that the administration now plans to install a U.S. attorney who would more aggressively investigate James.

OF COURSE, if you're looking the other way.

The ghettopotamus freak is kind of hard to miss.

The evidence is all over the news, not even taking it to a grand jury is obviously being providing cover.

One does not accidentally claim multiple properties as a primary residence.

All that matters to me with ANY politician is not what they say they are going to do, not what they are “poised” to do, but what they actually DO. And Trump got my support when he moved the embassy to Jerusalem.

And that was just the beginning of a long list of things I support finally getting DONE.

So, I’m waiting...

“...uncovered no clear evidence to prove...”

That didn’t stop the cannibal James from bringing charges on Trump, for far less. As usual, the spineless RINO’s won’t charge unless there is 100% irrefutable proof. The Rats NEVER care about proof, they only care on filing the charges in order to bankrupt the accused. It’s far past time that the Rats got a taste of their own medicine. /spit

Sounds like she's getting "The Prosecutor Pass" from her buds in the legal profession.

ABC is hardly a reliable source for any news about Trump or the Administration.

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, Leftist online sites are hardly a reliable source for any news about Trump or the Administration.

And she’s a lawyer, so she more than your average Joe should have known that was a no-no.
