James Challenges Subpoenas

New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a notice to a federal judge arguing that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's interim U.S. attorney appointments have been repeatedly invalidated by courts.
James asserts Sarcone's subpoenas in her fraud suit against U.S. President Donald Trump are unauthorized.
She cites rulings disqualifying other acting U.S. attorneys and urges quashing Sarcone's subpoenas.
A hearing is set for Thursday.

Maurene Comey Fired

Maurene Comey, a former federal prosecutor, says she was fired by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump for political reasons tied to her father, James Comey, who criticized Trump.
The Justice Department seeks to dismiss her lawsuit, arguing she did not follow proper procedures.
Maurene Comey contends her termination followed her successful prosecution of Sean Combs and was unjustified, as she received a positive review shortly before her firing.
