New York Attorney General Faces Criminal Financial Fraud Indictment

A federal grand jury brought charges against the New York attorney general 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 the charges before the judicial panel this Thursday, the person said.

Federal prosecutors seldom present to such panels.

Halligan was appointed as US attorney the previous month after the president expressed dissatisfaction over the speed in ongoing probes against his rivals.

The move represents the newest attempt to leverage the Department of Justice to penalize political rivals.

It comes 14 days following Halligan secured charges involving Comey.

Experienced attorneys prepared a memo for that matter outlining the reasons charges were not justified.

Comey entered a not guilty plea on Wednesday.
