Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. A federal grand jury has once again refused to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage fraud charges. NPR's Carrie Johnson reports President Trump has called for her prosecution. A law enforcement source tells NPR a grand jury in Virginia declined to bring criminal charges against Tish James. The New York Attorney General's a

prominent critic of the president who sued him on civil fraud charges related to his real estate business

and won. Her lawyer, Abby Lowell, says the investigation of James is a stain on the Justice Department

and raises questions about its integrity. Two separate grand

juries in Virginia have now rejected indictments against James. A judge invalidated other charges

against her because the prosecutor president Trump installed was not legally appointed. The

Justice Department can try to seek a new indictment of James, but it's not clear if they will succeed.

Greenglass reports.

Millions of Americans are set to see their premium skyrocket if the pandemic-era subsidies expire.

Democrats put forward a three-year extension of the subsidies for Republicans voted with the Democrats,

but not enough. This is Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia.

The consequences for ordinary people will be that they will have to delay response to their

health care, and for many people, they will literally pay with their lives.

Republican leadership put forward a plan, which also failed to provide up to $1,500 in health savings accounts for high

deductible ACA plans. Some members say these votes will help spark more negotiations, but time is

running out for Americans deciding whether to keep their coverage. Sam Greenglass, NPR News, Washington.
