Letitia James Faces Federal Financial Fraud Charges
A national judicial panel has charged the New York attorney general over allegations of bank fraud on Thursday, according to an informed source.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia handled the presentation of the charges to the grand jury on Thursday, the person said.
US attorneys rarely present to such panels.
Halligan was appointed as US attorney the previous month following the president became frustrated over the speed in ongoing probes targeting political opponents.
This step is the president’s latest effort to leverage federal justice authorities to punish political rivals.
It follows a fortnight following charges were filed against James Comey.
Experienced attorneys prepared a memo for that matter detailing why charges were not justified.
Comey pleaded not guilty this past Wednesday.
More details soon
