New York Attorney General Confronts Criminal Financial Fraud Charges
A federal grand jury has indicted Letitia James over allegations of bank fraud this past Thursday, as stated by an informed source.
Lindsey Halligan personally presented this case to the grand jury on Thursday, according to the source.
US attorneys do not typically address a grand jury.
Halligan was installed in the role recently following Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of inquiries targeting political opponents.
This step is the president’s latest effort to weaponize the DOJ to target opponents.
It comes a fortnight after Halligan secured charges targeting the former FBI director.
Experienced attorneys drafted a memorandum in that case outlining the reasons charges were not warranted.
Comey pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.
