New York Attorney General Confronts Criminal Bank Fraud Indictment
A federal grand jury has indicted the New York attorney general for bank fraud this past Thursday, as stated by 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 rarely address a grand jury.
Halligan was installed the position last month following Donald Trump grew impatient over the speed of investigations targeting political opponents.
The move represents the newest attempt to utilize the Department of Justice to target opponents.
This occurs 14 days following Halligan secured charges targeting the former FBI director.
Experienced attorneys wrote a document in that case explaining why indictments were not warranted.
Comey pleaded not guilty recently.
Additional information forthcoming
