Letitia James Faces Criminal Bank Fraud Indictment
A federal grand jury has charged the New York attorney general for bank fraud on Thursday, as stated by an informed source.
Lindsey Halligan handled the presentation of the charges to the grand jury on Thursday, as reported.
Federal prosecutors rarely present to such panels.
Halligan took over as US attorney the previous month after Donald Trump became frustrated regarding the progress in ongoing probes against his rivals.
This step is the president’s latest effort to leverage the Department of Justice to punish adversaries.
This occurs two weeks after Halligan obtained indictments against James Comey.
Long-serving lawyers drafted a memorandum regarding that situation outlining why indictments lacked merit.
Comey pleaded not guilty this past Wednesday.
Additional information forthcoming
