Judge Dismisses Trump DOJ Cases Against Comey, James
A judge named Cameron Currie decided to throw out the criminal cases that the Trump administration had against two people: James Comey, who used to be the head of the FBI, and Letitia James, who is the attorney general of New York.
The judge said that the person chosen to prosecute these cases, Lindsey Halligan, was not appointed in the right way, so the cases had to be dismissed.
However, the judge said the cases could be tried again if the Justice Department wants to.
The judge also mentioned that the cases could have been influenced by personal feelings, but that question was not answered.
Comey said he is not afraid and believes in the fairness of the court system.
The Justice Department plans to appeal the decision.

The Justice Department plans to appeal the decision.
