New York Attorney General Faces Federal Financial Fraud Charges
A national judicial panel has indicted the New York attorney general over allegations of bank fraud on Thursday, as stated by someone with knowledge of the case.
Lindsey Halligan handled the presentation of the charges before the judicial panel on Thursday, according to the source.
US attorneys rarely appear before a grand jury.
Halligan was appointed the position last month after the president expressed dissatisfaction over the speed of inquiries involving adversaries.
The move is the president’s latest effort to weaponize the Department of Justice to target opponents.
This occurs a fortnight after charges were filed targeting the former FBI director.
Experienced attorneys drafted a memorandum in that case outlining why charges lacked merit.
Comey entered a not guilty plea this past Wednesday.
