Mamdani says political retribution ‘only thing’ Trump can deliver on
Letitia James faces bank fraud charges amid a mayoral race marked by fierce criticism between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo over handling Trump’s influence.
- Thursday, a Virginia grand jury indicted Attorney General Letitia James on bank fraud and false-statement charges; she faces arraignment October 24 with penalties up to 30 years and $1 million fines per count, the DOJ says.
- Critics point to presidential pressure and recent DOJ hires as Lindsey Halligan, interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, secured the indictment despite no prosecutorial experience.
- The five-page indictment details the Norfolk, Virginia property allegations, claiming the 2020 mortgage application misrepresented the home's use and could have netted less than $19,000 in alleged gains.
- Less than a day after the indictment, Zohran Mamdani called Cuomo `unwilling to stand up in a moment of crisis` as Democrats organized rallies in Foley Square to support James ahead of Nov. 4.
- With a history of high-profile clashes, some Democrats fear Zohran Mamdani could face federal targeting if elected next month, echoing Letitia James’s $355 million legal win over President Donald Trump last year.
