司法部对因检察官任命不当而驳回Comey和James的案件提出上诉。
DOJ appeals dismissal of cases against Comey and James over improper prosecutor appointment.
司法部正在对一名联邦法官驳回对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米和纽约总检察长莱蒂亚·詹姆斯的刑事案件提出上诉,理由是检察官林赛·哈里根被不当任命为美国临时检察官。
The Justice Department is appealing a federal judge’s dismissal of criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, citing the improper appointment of prosecutor Lindsey Halligan as interim U.S. Attorney.
Cameron Currie法官裁定起诉书无效,因为Halligan先前担任白宫职务,违反了要求参议院确认的联邦法律。
Judge Cameron Currie ruled the indictments invalid due to Halligan’s prior White House role, which violated federal law requiring Senate confirmation.
司法部曾两次试图用新的检察官对James进行重新起诉,但这两项努力都失败了。
The department had attempted twice to reindict James with new prosecutors, both efforts failing.
上诉目前正由第四巡回上诉法院审理,寻求恢复那些指控妨碍司法和抵押欺诈的案件。
The appeal, now pending before the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, seeks to revive the cases, which allege obstruction of justice and mortgage fraud.
由于扣押不当,Comey案件中的关键证据也被排除在外。
Key evidence in the Comey case was also excluded due to improper seizure.
其结果仍然不确定。
The outcome remains uncertain.
