“New York Attorney General Letitia James pleaded not guilty on Friday morning to federal bank fraud charges, multiple outlets reported. President Trump publicly demanded James'[s] prosecution, and went as far as firing a federal prosecutor who refused to pursue charges. James has called the case ‘baseless’ and motivated by political retribution over the civil fraud case she brought against Trump. A tentative trial date was set for Jan. 26, per the New York Times. Prosecutors said they expect the trial to take about a week.” (10/24/25)
