A federal judge has dismissed the Justice Department’s cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, throwing a wrench in the prosecutions and teeing up potential legal battles over attorney appointments.
In an opinion on Nov. 24, U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie said the Justice Department unlawfully appointed Lindsey Halligan, who brought both cases, as the interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
