New York Attorney General Confronts Criminal Financial Fraud Charges
A national judicial panel has charged Letitia James over allegations of financial misconduct this past Thursday, as stated by someone with knowledge of the case.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia handled the presentation of the charges before the judicial panel on Thursday, the person said.
Federal prosecutors rarely present to a grand jury.
Halligan was appointed the position recently after the president expressed dissatisfaction regarding the progress of inquiries against his rivals.
The move marks a recent strategy to weaponize the DOJ to penalize political rivals.
It follows two weeks after Halligan obtained indictments against James Comey.
Career prosecutors prepared a memo in that case detailing why charges lacked merit.
Comey entered a not guilty plea this past Wednesday.
More details soon
