</div><p>A federal grand jury on Thursday rejected prosecutors' attempt to revive a criminal case against New York Attorney General Letitia James, two sources familiar with the matter said, after a judge threw out an initial set of charges against the prominent critic of U.S. President Donald Trump.</p>

</div><p>The indictment would have marked the Justice Department's second attempt to prosecute James, an elected Democrat, after a previous case was dismissed in November when U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie found that the prosecutor who secured the indictment, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed.</p>

</div><p>Prosecutors rarely struggle to obtain indictments from grand juries given the government alone presents evidence and must only show probable cause that a crime was committed, a lower legal bar than to secure a conviction at trial. Grand juries have rejected several proposed indictments during Trump's second term, but James is the most high-profile rejection yet.</p>
