WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥� Judge dismisses cases against James Comey and Letitia James after finding that prosecutor was illegally appointed.
A federal judge has dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, concluding that the prosecutor who brought the charges at President Donald Trump鈥檚 urging was illegally appointed by the Justice Department. The rulings from U.S. District Cameron McGowan Currie amount to a stunning rebuke of the Trump administration鈥檚 efforts to target Trump鈥檚 political opponents as well as its legal maneuvering to hastily install a loyalist prosecutor willing to file the cases. The orders makes Lindsey Halligan the latest Trump administration prosecutor to be disqualified because of the manner in which they were appointed.
