A federal grand jury indicted Letitia James, the New York attorney general, for bank fraud on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter.Lindsey Halligan, the US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, personally presented the case to the grand jury on Thursday, the person said. US attorneys do not typically present to a grand jury. Halligan was installed in the role last month after Donald Trump became frustrated with the pace of investigations against his rivals.The move is the president’s latest effort to weaponize the Department of Justice to punish political rivals. It comes two weeks after Halligan secured charges against James Comey, the former FBI director. Career prosecutors prepared a memo in that case outlining why charges were not warranted. Comey pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.
Once Trump was re-elected last year, the only question was when this would happen, not if. And really, why not? Whatever you think of Tish James, she literally ran for office on a promise to “Get Trump.” Since taking the AG office, she's tried to imprison him and bankrupt him, all while wearing that infamous smug grin. That said, the fact that mainstream outlets continue to frame this as Trump “going after his political opponents,” without acknowledging what Democrats did to him over four years under Joe Biden, just proves once again how deeply biased the mainstream media is.
