A federal grand jury has indicted Letitia James over allegations of bank fraud on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Lindsey Halligan handled the presentation of the case to the grand jury this Thursday, as reported.

Federal prosecutors rarely present to such panels.

Halligan was appointed the position last month after the president expressed dissatisfaction over the speed in ongoing probes against his rivals.

This step marks a recent strategy to weaponize federal justice authorities to target opponents.

This occurs a fortnight after Halligan obtained indictments targeting the former FBI director.

Career prosecutors prepared a memo in that case explaining why charges lacked merit.

Comey pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.
