New York Attorney General Charged With Criminal Bank Fraud Indictment
A federal grand jury brought charges against the New York attorney general for financial misconduct on Thursday, per someone with knowledge of the case.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia personally presented this case to the grand jury on Thursday, according to the source.
Federal prosecutors seldom appear before a grand jury.
Halligan was installed the position last month after the president became frustrated over the speed of inquiries involving adversaries.
This step marks a recent strategy to weaponize the Department of Justice to target political rivals.
This occurs 14 days following Halligan secured charges targeting the former FBI director.
Career prosecutors wrote a document in that case detailing why indictments lacked merit.
Comey pleaded not guilty this past Wednesday.
More details soon
