🔗 Share this article New York Attorney General Confronts Criminal Financial Fraud Indictment A federal grand jury brought charges against the New York attorney general over allegations of financial misconduct on Thursday, according to someone with knowledge of the case. Lindsey Halligan personally presented the charges to the grand jury on Thursday, as reported. US attorneys do not typically address a grand jury. Halligan took over as US attorney the previous month after Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction regarding the progress in ongoing probes against his rivals. This action is the president’s latest effort to leverage the DOJ to punish adversaries. This occurs 14 days after Halligan obtained indictments involving Comey. Experienced attorneys prepared a memo for that matter explaining why indictments were not warranted. Comey denied the charges on Wednesday. Updates to follow
