A federal judge has dismissed the indictments against both former FBI Director James Comey, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, on the grounds that the appointment of Interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan was invalid.
Judge Cameron McGowan Currie wrote in her Monday order that “all actions flowing from Ms. Halligan’s defective appointment were unlawful exercises of executive power and are hereby set aside.”
Judge Currie was appointed by former President Bill Clinton to the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina back in 1994, and became the senior judge there in 2013.
The cases have been dropped "without prejudice," meaning they could be be brought again.
