US EditionJudge Dismisses James Comey and Letitia James Indictments over 'Unlawful' Prosecutor Appointment
Judge Currie ruled that all actions by Lindsey Halligan, unlawfully appointed interim U.S. attorney, were invalid, dismissing indictments against Comey and James without prejudice.
- On November 24, 2025, U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie ruled Lindsey Halligan was not lawfully appointed, invalidating prosecutions against James Comey and Letitia James.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed Lindsey Halligan at President Donald Trump's urging after former interim U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert resigned, a move Judge Currie found violated 28 U.S.C. § 546 and the Appointments Clause.
- As the sole prosecutor before the federal grand juries, Halligan secured indictments of James Comey and Letitia James, but Judge Currie dismissed them, citing her unlawful appointment and quoting, `As explained below, I agree with Mr. Comey that the Attorney General’s attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney was invalid.`
- Both cases were dismissed without prejudice, meaning the Justice Department may attempt to re-file the indictments but must resolve issues from Halligan's unlawful appointment.
- The rulings mark a broader check on politicized prosecutorial moves as Currie's orders rebuke the Trump administration's efforts and follow a pattern of interim‑attorney disqualifications after Erik Siebert resigned amid pressure.
