Former FBI Director James Comey has seen his federal indictment collapse after a judge ruled that the prosecutor who brought the case against him was unlawfully appointed. The decision has voided the charges in their entirety and placed new scrutiny on the handling of politically sensitive investigations.
The ruling also affects several other cases, including the prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James, raising questions about how many indictments could be invalid as a result of the appointment breach.
