It was a striking rejection of the administration’s retribution campaign.

Dec. 5 (UPI) -- A federal grand jury has rejected the Justice Department's bid to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to reports, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump's effort to prosecute political opponents.

After a judge dismissed the Trump administration’s first attempt to indict the attorney general of New York State, a new grand jury effort failed, according to people familiar with the matter.
