MSNBC reports that New York Attorney General Letitia James is expected to face mortgage fraud charges in the coming days, joining former FBI Director James Comey in legal trouble. The development follows the dismissal of Erik Siebert, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who had resisted pursuing cases against both figures.

Siebert’s removal came after he opposed pressing charges against James, a decision that reportedly led to his forced departure last week. His successor, Lindsey Halligan—a former Trump defense lawyer with no prior prosecutorial experience—has since taken over the office. The new leadership is now overseeing investigations into mortgage fraud allegations against James, with sources indicating potential charges in the near future.

The shifting legal landscape has sparked speculation about swift action, as the U.S. attorney’s office under Halligan reportedly aims to advance cases previously delayed by Siebert’s resistance. No official timeline has been confirmed, but the situation remains fluid.

This report emerges amid heightened scrutiny of high-profile figures in federal investigations.
