President Donald Trump addressing the U.S. Department of Justice

CNN anchor Audie Cornish reports President Donald Trump has not given up on “trying to go after his political foes.”

A grand jury on Thursday declined to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud a second time. The administration’s failure to convince the grand jury comes ten days after a federal judge threw out Trump’s initial charges against James and former FBI director James Comey over the unlawful appointment of Lindsey Halligan, Trump's hand-picked prosecutor.

In a statement, James said that the charges against her are baseless and that “it's time for this unchecked weaponization of our justice system to stop.”

CNN Legal analyst Elliot Williams called Trump’s incessant attempts to prosecute people he considers enemies “a test of will for Pam Bondi and the administration on how long they want to keep going and losing.”

“The folks bringing the cases have some legal infirmities,” continued Elliot. ‘If you can't — and this is just law 101 — if you can't successfully get a case past a grand jury, you're sure as hell not going to get a conviction down the road. The standard for indicting a case is very low. It's probable cause, more likely than not that the thing happened. And then convicting at trial is reasonable doubt. That's really hard to get.”

“So, they're just not at a certain point you got to take the L and accept that. Yeah, we don't like Joe Biden. We don't like the folks that came before. We don't like lawfare, quote unquote. But this [prosecution] is not [going to happen].”
