US EditionNew York Attorney General Letitia James seeks to block Trump administration’s subpoenas
Letitia James argues John Sarcone’s appointment was improper, challenging subpoenas tied to her civil cases against Trump and the NRA amid claims of political retaliation.
- Earlier this year, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed John Sarcone as interim U.S. attorney for the Northern District of New York, but New York Attorney General Letitia James is challenging Sarcone’s legitimacy.
- After his 120-day interim term expired, Pam Bondi designated John Sarcone first-assistant, which Letitia James contends improperly extended his acting authority.
- Sarcone subpoenaed records from James' office tied to her civil case against President Donald Trump and an NRA lawsuit, despite having no prosecutorial experience and working previously at the GSA.
- A federal judge in Manhattan granted a motion to unseal most entries Friday over Justice Department objections, while Judge Lorna Schofield has not ruled on Letitia James' motion to quash subpoenas.
- Earlier this year, a panel of federal judges sought to remove Sarcone, highlighting judicial scrutiny as James accuses the Trump administration of using the justice system as a `tool of revenge`.
