U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Monday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will pursue “all available legal action” after a federal judge dismissed high-profile criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Bondi spoke in Memphis while highlighting the city’s “Safe Task Force.”
She addressed the decision by U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie, who ruled that the prosecutor handling the indictments, Lindsey Halligan, had not been lawfully appointed as interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
The ruling accepted the argument from Comey’s legal team that Halligan’s appointment was invalid, rendering both indictments defective.
