Judges to Decide Fate of Comey, James Indictments

On November 13th, a federal judge will consider arguments from lawyers representing former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who are challenging their indictments. Their legal teams argue that the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was not properly appointed. The dispute centers on the rules for appointing U.S. attorneys, with the defense claiming that federal judges should have filled the vacancy after the one hundred and twenty-day period ended. Prosecutors argue that the law does not forbid successive interim appointments and that dismissing the indictments is not the appropriate solution. Both Comey and James have pleaded not guilty and have also argued that their prosecutions are politically motivated. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
