State Attorney General Letitia James, a longtime foe of President Donald Trump, was indicted on federal bank fraud charges Thursday, a person familiar with the matter said, as the administration seeks to use government power against those who have pursued investigations into him or publicly resisted his agenda.
Trump, a Republican who campaigned for reelection in part on a vow of retribution after being indicted four times in three different courts since his first term in the White House ended in 2021, has repeatedly assailed James on social media and at political rallies as a partisan enemy.
