In a significant legal development, a U.S. judge has dismissed all criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The dismissal comes after the court found that the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed, raising questions about the legitimacy of the cases. The ruling has sparked a slew of reactions, including appeals from AG Pam Bondi and an indication that the Justice Department plans to pursue an immediate appeal. This decision marks a notable setback for Trump and his legal team, who have aimed to hold Comey and James accountable for alleged misconduct. The fallout includes discussions about the ethical implications of the prosecutions and the potential for further legal action as the political landscape remains contentious.
