U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie dismissed the indictments against James B. Comey, Jr., and Letitia James without prejudice, ruling that the time to present a case against Comey had expired. Judge Currie was a Clinton appointee, and she was selected from another jurisdiction to review the appointment of U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, finding that the appointment was invalid. The turn of events were representative of a Justice Department in chaos under President Donald J. Trump (R).
