New York Attorney General Confronts Federal Financial Fraud Charges
A federal grand jury brought charges against the New York attorney general for financial misconduct this past Thursday, according to an informed source.
Lindsey Halligan personally presented the charges before the judicial panel on Thursday, the person said.
US attorneys rarely appear before such panels.
Halligan was appointed as US attorney the previous month after Donald Trump grew impatient regarding the progress of investigations involving adversaries.
This step represents the newest attempt to weaponize federal justice authorities to penalize opponents.
It follows 14 days after Halligan secured charges involving Comey.
Career prosecutors wrote a document in that case explaining why charges lacked merit.
Comey denied the charges recently.
More details soon
