New York Attorney General Letitia James Indicted For Bank Fraud

Published

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia.

James has been charged with two felony counts -- bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution, according to CNN.

The allegations against James began circulating in April, when Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte referred her to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for prosecution.

Bondi later appointed a "special attorney" to investigate the allegations against James.

James led a successful civil fraud case against President Donald Trump before he started his second presidential term.

The case against James stalled in September when federal prosecutors concluded they didn't have enough evidence to land a conviction if they went to trial, reports NBC News.

Trump subsequently appointed Lindsey Halligan, who joined his legal team in 2022, to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, even though her background is primarily in insurance law.

Halligan is overseeing the case against former FBI Director James Comey. Many observers view the cases as examples of political retribution on the part of Trump

Death Row Inmate Robert Roberson Has His Planned Execution Blocked

Published

Robert Roberson just scored a major victory -- because his planned execution was just blocked by the highest criminal court in Texas.

Roberson was facing execution on October 16 after being convicted of capital murder in 2002 for the death of his 2-year-old daughter, Nikki, according to NBC News.

The case became notable because Nikki's death was partially attributed to "Shaken Baby Syndrome." Prosecutors believed Roberson had violently shaken his child to the point of causing severe injuries prior to her death.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted an emergency motion for a stay of execution on Thursday. Roberson's original sentence was challenged under the state's 2013 "junk science" law, "which provides for a second look when the science driving a conviction has since been debunked," according to The Texas Tribune.

His legal team had filed several appeals on his behalf, arguing the medical and scientific methods used to convict him in the past have been mostly discredited. Experts have determined the toddler died of natural and accidental causes, according to the Tribune.

Roberson would have been the first man to be executed in Texas for a case involving Shaken Baby Syndrome.

Roberson was supposed to be executed last year ... his execution was stopped just hours before it was set to take place.

The detective who arrested Roberson in 2002 has since claimed he believes Roberson is innocent, and has said he was unaware of Nikki's underlying health issues ... which apparently contributed to her death.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has rejected Roberson's innoncence, declaring he believes Roberson is guilty, and he's still pushing for an execution.

Staten Island Man Hospitalized After Allegedly Decapitating His Mom's Boyfriend

Damien Hurstel is accused of bludgeoning to death his mother's boyfriend, then severing the dead man's head at home on Monday, according to the New York Post.

Sources alleged Hurstel was planning to get rid of the body by cutting it up and pounding it out with a hammer before liquefying the remains in a blender, starting with his brain, the Post reports. The victim's head was found in a bathtub with a spoon sticking out of an eye socket.

Hurstel since been hit with several charges, including second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon. He reportedly has a history with mental health issues, including schizophrenia.

James Comey I Won't Back Down!!! Pleads Not Guilty to Criminal Charges

Published

Former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty to criminal charges many have viewed as an act of retribution by President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday.

The government figure was charged with making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding, according to The New York Times.

Comey entered his plea at a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday. The judge who's overseeing the case has set a trial date for January 5, 2026.

The former FBI Director wasn't taken into custody after he entered his plea, and there won't be any conditions for his release. His lawyer, Patrick Fitzgerald, stated he'll be filing a motion to dismiss the case prior to its scheduled start date.

Comey was indicted in September, and the charges both stem from his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020. He's been accused of lying about leaking confidential information to the media.

The prosecution will be led by Lindsey Halligan, who was selected by Trump to replace the former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia ... who had resigned in protest over being pressured to prosecute Comey.

Halligan's background is mostly in insurance law ... she joined Trump's personal legal team in 2022 after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. Halligan later started working in the White House as an aide in January 2025.

The Comey trial is estimated to take two to three days to complete. Fitzgerald said he's confident the case will be dismissed on motions he plans to file regarding vindictive prosecution, and Halligan's appointment, which he sees as wrongful.

It's also worth noting James' daughter, Maurene, sued the Trump administration back in September, alleging she'd been unlawfully fired from her position as the Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
