A federal grand jury brought charges against Letitia James for financial misconduct this past Thursday, per a person familiar with the matter.
Lindsey Halligan directly submitted this case to the grand jury this Thursday, as reported.
US attorneys seldom appear before a grand jury.
Halligan was appointed in the role recently following Donald Trump became frustrated with the pace of investigations targeting political opponents.
This step represents the newest attempt to leverage the DOJ to penalize opponents.
It comes a fortnight after Halligan obtained indictments involving Comey.
Experienced attorneys drafted a memorandum in that case outlining why charges were not justified.
Comey denied the charges on Wednesday.
