Federal probe into Trump foe Letitia James hits a standstill, law enforcement officials say

The mortgage fraud investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James is at a standstill because federal agents and prosecutors don’t 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. Attorney’s 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 “there’s 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. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia declined to comment.

Bill Pulte strikes out again! If he keeps losing, capo Stephen Miller will be looking to size him up for concrete boots and start looking for a lake to dump him in!
