Former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James are actively seeking the dismissal of their criminal cases against them, arguing that the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was illegally appointed. During a recent courtroom hearing, a judge expressed skepticism regarding Halligan’s appointment as interim U.S. attorney, questioning the legality of her role in prosecuting Comey and James. Legal experts and advocacy groups are voicing concerns, indicating that Halligan’s appointment may reflect political motivations. As challenges to her authority intensify, the court is set to review arguments regarding her legitimacy, and a potential ruling could have significant implications for the ongoing cases.
