A federal grand jury has charged Letitia James for bank fraud on Thursday, per an informed source.

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

US attorneys seldom appear before such panels.

Halligan was appointed the position last month after the president expressed dissatisfaction over the speed of inquiries involving adversaries.

This step represents the newest attempt to leverage the Department of Justice to punish adversaries.

It follows 14 days after charges were filed involving Comey.

Long-serving lawyers drafted a memorandum regarding that situation explaining the reasons charges lacked merit.

Comey denied the charges on Wednesday.
