In 2025 Letitia James was indicted on charges of lying on a mortgage application related to her 2020 purchase of a house in Norfolk, Virginia, allegedly using it as a rental property instead of for personal use. She has denied all wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty. Subsequently a U.S. district judge ruled that the prosecutor had been unlawfully appointed to her position by Pres. Donald Trump and the indictment against James was thrown out. The Trump administration sought to indict James again in December, but the grand jury declined to do so.
