A federal judge dismissed the charges against James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James because the Trump-picked interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was appointed illegally. After the ruling, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke with reporters on the West Wing driveway and interrupted longtime correspondent April Ryan during a gaggle. Leavitt accused Ryan of yelling and said she would take another reporter's question first. Leavitt framed the administration as seeking accountability and correcting the "weaponization of our justice system," while asserting the president was not "going after" Comey or James.
