A federal court in the U.S. ruled on Monday to dismiss the charges against former FBI director James Comey, a critic of President Donald Trump, and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The judges argued that the prosecutor responsible for the case should not have been appointed by the Department of Justice. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt announced that the Department of Justice will contest this ruling. The charges against Comey, including false testimony and obstruction of a Congressional investigation, were made after Trump pressured the judicial system.
James Comey welcomed the court's decision, emphasizing the importance of the independence of the judicial system and warned that Trump could continue to target him. Comey was the FBI director from 2013, having been fired by Trump in 2017 in connection with the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
Letitia James stated she is "encouraged by this victory," assuring in a statement that she will not be "intimidated by these unfounded accusations."
