  • New York Attorney General Letitia James indicted on federal bank fraud charges.
  • Charges relate to alleged misrepresentation of a mortgage loan for a property in Norfolk, Virginia.
  • James claims the indictment is politically motivated by President Trump.
  • Prosecutor Lindsey Halligan states the case shows 'no one is above the law'.
  • Property in question was allegedly used as a rental, not a secondary residence as required by the loan terms.
  • Trump previously called for investigations into James and other political opponents.
  • James led a civil fraud case against Trump, resulting in a $500m fine later reduced on appeal.
  • James's first court appearance scheduled for 24 October in Norfolk.
