The Trump administration installed Lindsey Halligan as U.S.
attorney in Virginia in late September.
soon after the prosecutor already in that job expressed doubts about moving forward with charges against prominent critics of President Trump.
Now, a federal judge has found Halligan's appointment defective under the Constitution.
The ruling means that indictments Halligan won against the former FBI director and the sitting New York Attorney General are dismissed for now.
The Justice Department has the option to appeal and could try to revive both cases.
Lawyers for Jim Comey and Tish James are challenging the indictments on several other grounds.

The unusual group includes former attorneys general and their top deputies.
and a dangerous exercise of the power to prosecute.
Comey's pleaded not guilty to charges of misleading Congress.
He's trying to get the case thrown out by arguing he's the target of a vindictive or selective prosecution.

President Trump fired Comey as the FBI Director in 2017.
and Comey went on to become a fierce critic.
Now Comey's moving to dismiss the case because he says it's a vindictive or selective prosecution.
He says at least four top officials during President Trump's first term allegedly lied to Congress, and none of them was charged with any crimes.
The president's animus against Comey is so intense that the Justice Department recently fired Comey's daughter without any clear reason.

President Trump fired Comey as the FBI director in 2017, and Comey went on to become a fierce critic.
