New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on at least one count of alleged fraud following pressure from President Donald Trump.

Halligan was named U.S. attorney by Trump after Trump ousted her predecessor, Erik Siebert, who sources say had expressed doubts internally about bringing cases against James and former FBI Director James Comey.
As ABC News first reported, sources said Siebert and other career prosecutors in Virginia determined there was no clear evidence James had knowingly committed mortgage fraud, but Trump officials nevertheless pushed Siebert to bring criminal charges against her.
