The mortgage fraud investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James is at a standstill because federal agents and prosecutors dont believe they have enough evidence to get a conviction if the case were to go to trial, two senior federal law enforcement officials told NBC News on Wednesday.
The White House and several top administration officials, however, have continued to push the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of Virginia to seek an indictment against James, who brought a civil fraud case against Donald Trump after his first term as president.
ABC News first reported he developments in James' case. A grand jury has been hearing evidence, but so far prosecutors have declined to seek an indictment.
One of those senior officials said theres not nearly enough clear and convincing evidence to show that James knowingly made false statements to a financial institution to get a better mortgage rate for her Virginia home. The U.S. Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of Virginia declined to comment.
