U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie dismissed criminal indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday, ruling that interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed.

U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie dismissed criminal indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday, ruling that interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed.

Halligan, a former insurance lawyer with no prosecutorial experience, was appointed by Trump after Erik Siebert was forced out for resisting pressure to prosecute Comey and James, with Halligan acting alone to present cases to grand juries.

Judge Currie ruled that federal law limits interim U.S. attorneys to 120-day appointments, and since Siebert's term had already expired, the Attorney General lacked authority to install successive interim prosecutors without Senate confirmation.

The judge dismissed both cases without prejudice, meaning charges could be refiled, though Comey's case faces statute of limitations complications as the five-year period has now passed on the charges related to his 2020 congressional testimony.

Comey faced charges of making false statements to Congress and obstruction regarding his 2020 testimony about authorizing media leaks, while James was charged with mortgage fraud for allegedly misrepresenting property information on loan applications.

James expressed gratitude for the ruling and called the charges baseless, while her attorney stated that Trump went to extreme measures to substitute an ally after career prosecutors refused to bring charges against his perceived political opponents.
