The Justice Department on Thursday failed to secure an indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James, a person familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The presentation to the grand jury came less than two weeks after the original criminal case against her was dismissed.
James, a frequent political target of President Donald Trump who had successfully brought a fraud lawsuit against him, had previously been indicted by a grand jury on one charge of bank fraud and another making false statements to a financial institution.
James has denied any wrongdoing.
Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan, a former Trump personal attorney with no prosecutorial experience, presented the case to a grand jury on her own in the first go-round — and that case was declared void on Nov. 24 when a judge found Halligan's appointment was unlawful.
