US EditionLindsey Halligan didn’t coordinate NY AG Letitia James indictment with Pam Bondi’s DOJ
Lindsey Halligan secured an indictment against Letitia James on bank fraud charges without DOJ coordination amid internal doubts about the case's strength.
- On Thursday, newly appointed US attorney Lindsey Halligan, acting independently, secured an indictment against Letitia James, the top law enforcement official from New York, after presenting the case alone to a grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia.
- Halligan moved forward with the case despite having told some Justice Department officials in recent days and originally planning for a Norfolk, Virginia grand jury thought to be more favorable.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche, along with guidance from Erik Siebert and seasoned attorneys in the Eastern District, were reportedly skeptical about the strength of Halligan’s case.
- A grand jury formally charged James with two offenses—committing financial institution fraud and providing inaccurate information to a bank—surprising Bondi with this development.
- Justice Department spokesman Chad Gilmartin indicated that, by law, the department cannot share details about grand jury proceedings with the press.
