Letitia James Charged With Federal Bank Fraud Charges
A federal grand jury brought charges against the New York attorney general over allegations of bank fraud this past Thursday, per an informed source.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia handled the presentation of the charges before the judicial panel this Thursday, according to the source.
Federal prosecutors do not typically present to a grand jury.
Halligan took over in the role the previous month after the president grew impatient with the pace of inquiries against his rivals.
The move represents the newest attempt to weaponize the DOJ to penalize political rivals.
It comes two weeks following Halligan obtained indictments targeting the former FBI director.
Long-serving lawyers prepared a memo regarding that situation explaining the reasons charges lacked merit.
Comey entered a not guilty plea this past Wednesday.
