Letitia James Confronts Federal Bank Fraud Indictment
A federal grand jury has indicted Letitia James over allegations of bank fraud on Thursday, per someone with knowledge of the case.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia personally presented the charges to the grand jury this Thursday, the person said.
US attorneys seldom address a grand jury.
Halligan was installed the position the previous month after Donald Trump became frustrated over the speed of investigations against his rivals.
This action is the president’s latest effort to weaponize federal justice authorities to penalize political rivals.
It comes a fortnight after Halligan secured charges targeting the former FBI director.
Experienced attorneys wrote a document for that matter explaining why indictments were not justified.
Comey denied the charges on Wednesday.
