DOJ appeals dismissal of cases against Trump foes James Comey, Letitia James

The DOJ challenges a judge's ruling that invalidated indictments due to an unlawful interim U.S. attorney appointment, after failing twice to secure new charges, officials said.

  • The U.S. Department of Justice appealed judge's orders that dismissed criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James, filing notices to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
  • The appeals seek to restore prosecutors' access to evidence after a federal judge ruled the Justice Department cannot use key evidence against James Comey without a lawful warrant.
  • Political ties around the indictments deepen the stakes for appellate review, as Senior U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie found Halligan's appointment unlawful, raising constitutional questions.
