"A judge has dismissed charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The judge ruled that the appointment of the Justice Department's lawyer, Lindsey Halligan, as interim US Attorney was unlawful and violated the Appointments Clause in the US Constitution.
Comey was charged with making false statements and obstruction of justice in September, after President Donald Trump called for his prosecution and appointed a new federal prosecutor to pursue the case. He pleaded not guilty."
