Case Overview

The government appealed Senior United States District Judge McGowan Currie's orders granting Comey and James' motions to dismiss which also found that Lindsey Halligan's appointment to serve as U.S. attorney was unlawful. The appeals were consolidated on Jan. 12, 2026.


The Application

The Conclusion

The government appealed the dismissal orders, which were consolidated in the Fourth Circuit on January 12, 2026, and remain pending.
