Latitia James indicated on her mortgage that she would use the house as a second home.
The US Attorney impaneled a grand jury in Norfolk, Virginia to solicit testimony attempting to prove that James had actually rented the house out to another family as a rental investment.
Testimony elicited during the Norfolk grand jury revealed that James' grandniece had been living in the house for years, and was not paying rent to do so.
US Attorney discharges the Norfolk, VA grand jury and immediately impanels a new grand jury in Alexandria, VA to seek an indictment against James.
US Attorney omits from evidence presented to Alexandria, VA grand jury the exculpatory testimony related to the actual use of the house, in violation of Title 9 of the Federal Rules Justice Manual.
Lacking the exculpatory evidence, the Alexandria, VA grand jury votes to indict.
In any saner universe, the conduct of US Attorney Lindsey Halligan would be referred over to the DOJ's Office of Professional Responsibility.
