New York Attorney General Letitia James was arraigned at a federal court<\/a> in Norfolk, Virginia, Friday, where she pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution.<\/p>\n

The charges against James stem from her 2020 purchase of a home in Norfolk, Virginia. Prosecutors allege that James misled a bank about the nature of the residence in order to obtain more favorable loan conditions.<\/p>\n

The indictment states that James benefited from the so-called “ill-gotten gains” as a result of her actions on the $109,600 mortgage, and would save nearly $19,000 over the course of the 30-year loan.<\/p>\n

James\u2019 arraignment is the latest in a string of prosecutions brought against the president<\/u><\/a>\u2019s perceived political foes, despite objections from career prosecutors \u2014 some of whom have since been fired or resigned.<\/p>\n

James, a Democrat, has long-drawn Trump’s ire after she campaigned for attorney general in 2016 largely on vows to investigate Trump’s actions and businesses.<\/p>\n

She also successfully secured a $450 million civil fraud case against him last year, though an appeals court later tossed the financial penalty portion of the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system,” James said in a statement<\/u><\/a> after she was indicted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“These charges are baseless, and the president’s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost,” she added.<\/p>\n

Her indictment, like the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, was presented to a grand jury by former White House aide Lindsey Halligan, whom President Donald Trump installed as the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump, in September, said he would install Halligan as the top prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia, replacing interim attorney Erik Siebert, who resigned under pressure to indict both Comey and James.<\/p>\n

“No one is above the law. The charges as alleged in this case represent intentional, criminal acts and tremendous breaches of the public’s trust,” Halligan said in a statement. “The facts and the law in this case are clear, and we will continue following them to ensure that justice is served.”<\/p>\n

After the arraignment, it is likely that she will file a motion to dismiss her case for vindictive and selective prosecution, following similar steps taken by Comey’s legal team in Alexandria earlier this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She will also file a motion to dismiss her case based on what her lawyers will argue was the unlawful appointment of Halligan in securing her indictment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lowell, her attorney, has described the case against her as “improper political retribution,” and vowed they would<\/u><\/a> “fight these charges in every process allowed in the law.”<\/p>\n

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to Fox News’s request for comment on the case, or whether Halligan or Keller would\u00a0be joined by any other federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia. \u00a0<\/p>\n
