Washington: The U.S. Department of Justice plans an immediate appeal after a federal judge on Monday dismissed high-profile indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, ruling the prosecutor appointed to bring the cases was “invalidly” installed.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie delivers a significant setback to the Trump administration’s efforts to prosecute two of the president’s most prominent critics, though the legal battle is far from over.
