Trump Adversary Letitia James Pleads Not Guilty in Mortgage Fraud Case
US President Donald Trump has publicly called for the prosecution of James and other political rivals despite concerns.
New York Attorney General Letitia James has entered a not-guilty plea to federal mortgage fraud charges in a contentious case pushed by United States President Donald Trump.
On Friday, James appeared in court for the first time after the Trump administration accused her of misrepresenting a property investment to get more favourable loans.
She faces one count of bank fraud and one count of making a false statement to a financial institution, both of which carry a maximum of 30 years in prison.
Her hearing on Friday was held before a federal court in Norfolk, Virginia.
Not guilty, judge, to both counts.
Her trial is set to begin on January 26.
Speaking to supporters afterwards outside the courtroom, James characterised the case as President Trump’s attempt to wield the legal system against his political rivals.
