Letitia James Confronts Criminal Bank Fraud Indictment
A federal grand jury has charged Letitia James for bank fraud on Thursday, per someone with knowledge of the case.
Lindsey Halligan handled the presentation of this case before the judicial panel this Thursday, according to the source.
Federal prosecutors seldom appear before a grand jury.
Halligan took over in the role last month after Donald Trump became frustrated with the pace of inquiries against his rivals.
The move is the president’s latest effort to leverage the Department of Justice to punish adversaries.
This occurs 14 days following charges were filed targeting the former FBI director.
Experienced attorneys wrote a document for that matter detailing why indictments lacked merit.
Comey denied the charges this past Wednesday.
