Letitia James Faces Criminal Bank Fraud Indictment
A federal grand jury has indicted the New York attorney general over allegations of financial misconduct on Thursday, according to an informed source.
Lindsey Halligan handled the presentation of the charges to the grand jury on Thursday, according to the source.
Federal prosecutors rarely address such panels.
Halligan was installed the position last month after Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of inquiries against his rivals.
This action is the president’s latest effort to weaponize the DOJ to target opponents.
It follows two weeks following Halligan secured charges against James Comey.
Experienced attorneys prepared a memo for that matter explaining why indictments were not warranted.
Comey denied the charges this past Wednesday.
