New York Attorney General Faces Federal Bank Fraud Charges
A federal grand jury has charged Letitia James for financial misconduct this past Thursday, according to an informed source.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia directly submitted the charges before the judicial panel this Thursday, according to the source.
Federal prosecutors rarely present to a grand jury.
Halligan took over in the role last month after Donald Trump became frustrated over the speed in ongoing probes against his rivals.
This action is the presidentâs latest effort to leverage the Department of Justice to target political rivals.
It comes 14 days after Halligan obtained indictments involving Comey.
Career prosecutors prepared a memo in that case explaining why charges lacked merit.
Comey denied the charges this past Wednesday.
Additional information forthcoming
