Letitia James Charged With Federal Financial Fraud Indictment
A federal grand jury brought charges against the New York attorney general for financial misconduct this past Thursday, as stated by someone with knowledge of the case.
Lindsey Halligan handled the presentation of the case to the grand jury on Thursday, the person said.
Federal prosecutors seldom present to such panels.
Halligan was installed in the role last month following Donald Trump grew impatient over the speed of investigations against his rivals.
This step represents the newest attempt to weaponize federal justice authorities to target opponents.
This occurs two weeks after Halligan obtained indictments against James Comey.
Career prosecutors wrote a document regarding that situation explaining why charges were not warranted.
Comey pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.
Additional information forthcoming
