New York Attorney General Faces Criminal Financial Fraud Indictment
A federal grand jury has charged Letitia James over allegations of bank fraud this past Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia handled the presentation of the charges to the grand jury this Thursday, the person said.
Federal prosecutors do not typically address a grand jury.
Halligan was appointed in the role recently following Donald Trump became frustrated with the pace in ongoing probes involving adversaries.
This step is the president’s latest effort to weaponize federal justice authorities to penalize adversaries.
This occurs a fortnight following Halligan obtained indictments against James Comey.
Experienced attorneys wrote a document regarding that situation outlining why charges were not justified.
Comey denied the charges this past Wednesday.
