New York Attorney General Faces Criminal Bank Fraud Charges
A federal grand jury has charged the New York attorney general over allegations of financial misconduct on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia handled the presentation of this case before the judicial panel this Thursday, according to the source.
US attorneys seldom appear before a grand jury.
Halligan was installed in the role the previous month following Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction over the speed in ongoing probes involving adversaries.
This step marks a recent strategy to utilize federal justice authorities to penalize adversaries.
This occurs 14 days after Halligan secured charges targeting the former FBI director.
Career prosecutors drafted a memorandum for that matter explaining why charges were not justified.
Comey pleaded not guilty recently.
More details soon
