Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

prosecutional misconduct

If a person is under federal indictment, can a prosecutor post an article on his personal website stating that this person is a lifelong conman etc. ? Wouldn't these statements prejudice this person from receiving a fair trial? Is this conduct against the law? Can this U S Attorney be sued?
