WASHINGTON (TNND) -- A grand jury on Thursday refused to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James after reconsidering a mortgage fraud case against her for the second time, according to multiple reports.
The news comes 10 days after U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie dismissed the initial charges against her -- as well as charges against former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey.
The federal judge concluded that the interim U.S. attorney who brought the charges, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed.
Citing an unnamed source, CNN reported that "there should be no premature celebration" because the Department of Justice "could try to seek the indictment a third time."
James previously pleaded not guilty to one count of making false statements to a financial institution and one count of bank fraud.
In a September Truth Social post, President Donald Trump wrote that James and Comey were "guilty as hell," and described Halligan as a "really good lawyer."
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump also said he thought Halligan "is great" and that the rulings were a "technicality," even though the judge cited the underlying law as the basis for her decision.
Halligan was authorized by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to become the interim U.S. attorney on September 22.
Comey was indicted September 25, while James was indicted on October 9.
Trump hasn't nominated anyone to serve as U.S. attorney for the Northern District of New York.
