Letitia James Faces Federal Bank Fraud Charges
A federal grand jury has charged Letitia James for bank fraud this past Thursday, according to someone with knowledge of the case.
Lindsey Halligan personally presented this case to the grand jury this Thursday, the person said.
US attorneys rarely appear before such panels.
Halligan was appointed the position last month following the president grew impatient with the pace of investigations involving adversaries.
This action represents the newest attempt to leverage the Department of Justice to penalize adversaries.
It follows 14 days after Halligan obtained indictments involving Comey.
Experienced attorneys drafted a memorandum in that case explaining why indictments were not justified.
Comey entered a not guilty plea on Wednesday.
More details soon
