A national judicial panel has indicted the New York attorney general for financial misconduct this past Thursday, as stated by an informed source.

Lindsey Halligan directly submitted the case to the grand jury this Thursday, the person said.

Federal prosecutors rarely appear before such panels.

Halligan took over the position last month following the president expressed dissatisfaction regarding the progress in ongoing probes against his rivals.

This step is the president’s latest effort to weaponize the Department of Justice to target adversaries.

It follows a fortnight after Halligan secured charges against James Comey.

Long-serving lawyers prepared a memo regarding that situation outlining why charges were not warranted.

Comey pleaded not guilty recently.
