DOJ opens grand jury investigation into Letitia James tied to Trump civil case
Fox News ^ | Ashley Oliver , David Spunt , Jake Gibson

Posted on 08/08/2025 8:29:04 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The Department of Justice convened a grand jury to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James, marking an escalation in President Donald Trump's fight with New York's top prosecutor.

The investigation is being run out of Albany, New York, and focused on possible deprivation of rights allegations, two well-placed sources familiar with the probe told Fox News Digital.

The investigation is in an early stage, but Fox News Digital has learned that James's office received subpoenas for documents this week, including for information related to her civil fraud lawsuit against Trump.

James, a Democrat who was elected attorney general in 2018, has long been a target of Trump. James successfully brought civil charges against him for business fraud in 2022 and has had an instrumental role in challenging his current administration's executive actions in court.

James's office did not respond to requests for comment about the investigation.

James began investigating the Trump Organization soon after she took office, eventually securing a $454 million judgment against the then-former president and some of Trump's company's executives, including two of his sons.

A New York judge found Trump and his business partners grossly overstated Trump's wealth to obtain favorable loans and other financial benefits. James said at the time that financial fraud was not a "victimless crime."

The corruption is so deep and widespread, it’s hard to know where to start.

Speaking of NYS...

Here’s a question for ICE.

How many illegal aliens do NYS local, municipal, county, state government offices have on the payroll...?

Hint, hint...

I know it’s unrelated to the NY situation — but what’s going on with Fani Willis? I don’t think I’ve heard anything in quite a while.

Another investigation.

In living memory, has there ever been an investigation that has led to a successful prosecution, conviction, and incarceration of a prominent Democrat? Let's see, there was Gov. Jim Guy Tucker of Arkansas who was sent to prison back in the 1990s (for his role in the Clinton Whitewater scandal), but how many since then? I guess there is Bob Menendez who was recently convicted and the Dem congressman who hid gold bars in a freezer. Ray Nagin of New Orleans too.

Any other big name Dems sent to the slammer?

Drill wide, drill deep into the communications between the Biden Administration, the Biden DOJ, and their surrogates and James. And when you finish, empanel a grand jury for Colorado and look at Jenna Griswold and the attempts to keep Trump off the primary Ballot.

Um, that's backwards.

She ran on the premise of targeting Trump.

That’s very important.
She didn’t have a crime and found a criminal. She wasn’t even in office when she was promising to make a criminal out of a target.

Based on those facts alone, it sounds to me like it wouldn’t be hard to make a grand jury very amenable to malicious prosecution.
