"Attorney General Pam Bondi was not aware that Lindsey Halligan, the newly-installed U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was presenting evidence to grand jury in an effort to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday, according to a bombshell ABC News report. James was indicted on charges related to alleged mortgage fraud on Thursday. Halligan also personally presented the evidence against former FBI Director James Comey last month, an unusual task for a U.S. attorney."
"Per the ABC story, Bondi and other senior leadership of the Justice Department were caught off guard Thursday by news that the Trump-installed U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia had presented the evidence against James to a grand jury. While Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and other DOJ officials had expected Lindsey Halligan would move forward in seeking to indict James, they were not informed until after Halligan had already presented the case, sources told ABC."
