New York Attorney General Confronts Criminal Financial Fraud Indictment
A national judicial panel brought charges against Letitia James for financial misconduct on Thursday, as stated by an informed source.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia directly submitted the case to the grand jury on Thursday, according to the source.
US attorneys rarely present to such panels.
Halligan was appointed as US attorney the previous month after the president became frustrated with the pace of investigations targeting political opponents.
This step represents the newest attempt to weaponize the Department of Justice to penalize adversaries.
It comes 14 days after Halligan obtained indictments against James Comey.
Long-serving lawyers wrote a document for that matter outlining why charges lacked merit.
Comey denied the charges on Wednesday.
