Judge Strikes Down Trump's 'Revenge' Indictments

Federal Judge Strikes Down Indictments Against Comey, James: A Blow to Trumps Revenge TourA federal judge has invalidated indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, dealing a significant blow to former President Donald Trumps revenge tour against political adversaries. The judge ruled that the appointment of the prosecutor handling these cases was legally flawed, effectively dismissing the charges. The lawyer appointed to pursue these cases, Lindsey Halligan, an insurance lawyer with no prior prosecutorial experience, was found to have been appointed unlawfully. The Department of Justice can appeal this ruling, but critics view it as a validation of concerns about the weaponization of the justice system. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
