Attorneys for former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James are arguing in court for the dismissal of federal indictments against their clients, citing the unlawful appointment of Lindsey Halligan as interim U.S. attorney. Comey faces charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice, while James is indicted for bank fraud and false statements regarding a mortgage. The defense contends that Halligan’s appointment violates the 120-day limit for interim U.S. attorneys and undermines the legitimacy of the indictments. They argue that Halligan had no authority to prosecute these cases, which should be dismissed.
