New York Attorney General Charged With Criminal Bank Fraud Indictment
A federal grand jury brought charges against the New York attorney general for bank fraud this past Thursday, per someone with knowledge of the case.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia handled the presentation of the case before the judicial panel this Thursday, according to the source.
Federal prosecutors rarely appear before such panels.
Halligan took over the position the previous month after Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction regarding the progress of investigations against his rivals.
This step represents the newest attempt to leverage the DOJ to target adversaries.
This occurs two weeks following Halligan secured charges against James Comey.
Career prosecutors drafted a memorandum regarding that situation detailing why charges were not justified.
Comey denied the charges on Wednesday.
More details soon
