Letitia James Confronts Criminal Bank Fraud Charges
A federal grand jury has indicted the New York attorney general over allegations of bank fraud on Thursday, as stated by a person familiar with the matter.
Lindsey Halligan personally presented this case before the judicial panel this Thursday, according to the source.
Federal prosecutors seldom present to such panels.
Halligan took over the position last month following Donald Trump grew impatient with the pace of investigations involving adversaries.
This action represents the newest attempt to leverage federal justice authorities to punish political rivals.
It comes two weeks following charges were filed against James Comey.
Long-serving lawyers prepared a memo regarding that situation outlining why charges lacked merit.
Comey entered a not guilty plea this past Wednesday.
