Summary
- A federal judge dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James in late November 2025, ruling the interim US attorney who brought them, Lindsey Halligan, had been unlawfully appointed.
- Comey had been indicted in September 2025 on charges of false testimony and obstruction tied to 2020 Senate testimony; both indictments were dismissed 'without prejudice.'
- In February 2026 the Justice Department appealed to the Fourth Circuit, arguing Halligan was properly appointed and the charges should stand.
The question
The Comey and James prosecutions were politically motivated.
