Judge Dismisses Indictments Against Letitia James, James Comey Over Prosecutor’s Appointment
A federal judge found interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan’s appointment unlawful on Monday.
Judge Cameron Currie dismissed cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who both challenged Halligan’s appointment.
“I agree with Mr. Comey that the Attorney General’s attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid,” the judge wrote. “And because Ms. Halligan had no lawful authority to present the indictment, I will grant Mr. Comey’s motion and dismiss the indictment without prejudice.”
