Letitia James Charged With Federal Bank Fraud Charges
A federal grand jury brought charges against Letitia James over allegations of bank fraud on Thursday, per someone with knowledge of the case.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia handled the presentation of this case before the judicial panel this Thursday, the person said.
US attorneys seldom address a grand jury.
Halligan took over the position last month after the president became frustrated over the speed of inquiries targeting political opponents.
This action marks a recent strategy to utilize federal justice authorities to target adversaries.
It follows a fortnight after Halligan obtained indictments targeting the former FBI director.
Experienced attorneys drafted a memorandum in that case explaining why charges lacked merit.
Comey denied the charges recently.
