Letitia James Charged With Criminal Bank Fraud Charges
A federal grand jury has charged Letitia James over allegations of bank fraud on Thursday, per someone with knowledge of the case.
Lindsey Halligan handled the presentation of this case to the grand jury on Thursday, according to the source.
US attorneys seldom address such panels.
Halligan took over in the role the previous month after Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction over the speed in ongoing probes against his rivals.
This action represents the newest attempt to weaponize federal justice authorities to penalize opponents.
It comes 14 days after charges were filed involving Comey.
Experienced attorneys drafted a memorandum regarding that situation outlining why indictments lacked merit.
Comey denied the charges on Wednesday.
Additional information forthcoming
