Trump’s Cases Against James Comey And Letitia James Dropped
Topline A federal judge dropped criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday, ending two of the Trump administration’s most high-profile prosecutions against the president’s political enemies as the court ruled that the prosecutor overseeing the case U. S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed. Key Facts What To Watch For The Trump administration is likely to appeal Currie’s orders dismissing the indictments, and it remains to be seen how future courts-including potentially the Supreme Court-could rule on the issue. The Justice Department could also try to either install a new U. S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia or get Senate confirmation for Halligan, which would make her appointment lawful, and try to indict Comey and James again. The statute of limitations in Comey’s case expired in September, however, so the DOJ could face issues should they try to bring new charges based on the same comments. Currie’s ruling does not impact a separate ongoing prosecution against John Bolton, another longtime Trump foe who was indicted by a different prosecutor in Maryland. That case remains pending.
