Letitia James Charged With Federal Financial Fraud Indictment
A federal grand jury brought charges against Letitia James for bank fraud this past Thursday, per someone with knowledge of the case.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia directly submitted this case to the grand jury this Thursday, as reported.
Federal prosecutors rarely appear before a grand jury.
Halligan was appointed in the role the previous month following Donald Trump grew impatient with the pace in ongoing probes against his rivals.
This action represents the newest attempt to utilize federal justice authorities to penalize opponents.
It comes a fortnight after Halligan obtained indictments against James Comey.
Career prosecutors drafted a memorandum in that case detailing the reasons charges were not warranted.
Comey denied the charges recently.
