According to the orders, the authority to fill the vacancy belonged to the district court at the time Halligan was selected, not the Attorney General. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judge concluded that Halligan therefore lacked authority to oversee grand jury proceedings or sign indictments. Both cases were dismissed without prejudice, meaning prosecutors with proper authority could pursue charges again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comey had been charged with making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding, while James faced charges of bank fraud and making false statements related to a mortgage application. Both indictments were presented solely by Halligan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump commented on the dismissal of criminal indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, saying prosecutors have \u201ca lot of options\u201d following the ruling, according to remarks made aboard Air Force One.
