"A federal judge yesterday dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Both were indicted by a lawyer who was willing to follow President Trump's demand to pursue criminal charges after other prosecutors found no reason for a case. The judge found that Lindsey Halligan, the top prosecutor, was unlawfully appointed, marking a significant setback to the president's efforts to go after his perceived political enemies."
"U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning for the military to cut all ties with Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts. According to documents reviewed by NPR, Hegseth claims the organization is no longer a meritocracy and has become an organization designed to "attack boy-friendly spaces." In a draft memo to Congress, he criticizes Scouting for being "genderless" and for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. The military has supported the Scouts for over 100 years, and formalized their relationship in 1937."
A federal judge dismissed criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James after finding top prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed. The judge ruled that actions from Halligan's defective appointment were unlawful exercises of executive power and should be set aside. Halligan was the only prosecutor in the grand jury room and the sole signer of the indictments. The Justice Department may appeal. Comey said he could be targeted again but trusts the federal court system. Multiple courts this year have found U.S. attorneys were not legally appointed.

The military formalized its relationship with the Scouts in 1937.
