🚨 BREAKING: Jury Trial Date Set for New York Attorney General Letitia James — January 26, 2026
NEW YORK, N.Y. — The long-awaited federal mortgage fraud case against New York Attorney General Letitia James is officially headed to trial on January 26, 2026, according to a scheduling order released Friday afternoon by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
James, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, denounced the proceedings as “a political hit job” and said the justice system has been weaponized against her for “doing the right thing and standing up to powerful interests.”
“This is not justice — it’s retaliation,” James said outside the courthouse. “But I will not be intimidated. The truth will prevail.”
Federal prosecutors accuse James of misrepresenting property values and falsifying financial disclosures tied to several mortgage applications between 2018 and 2021. If convicted, she could face up to 20 years in prison and substantial fines.
Legal analysts say the 2026 trial date gives both sides extensive time to review evidence and prepare for what is expected to be one of the most politically charged cases in recent New York history.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department declined to comment on the specifics of the case but confirmed that the trial will proceed as scheduled barring any procedural delays or appeals.
The proceedings mark a dramatic moment for one of the most prominent Democratic officials in the country, whose office has been at the forefront of multiple high-profile cases — including investigations into former President Donald Trump’s business practices.
This is a developing story, and more updates are expected as pretrial motions are filed in the coming weeks.
