Attorneys for both James Comey and Letitia James say that interim U.S.
Attorney Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed.
Because of that, they say, the separate indictments against Comey and James should be found invalid and dismissed.
The Justice Department, meanwhile, argues that Halligan's appointment is valid and legal, and any perceived problem with it is at most, quote, a paperwork error.
District Judge Cameron McGowan Curry was assigned to hear challenges to Halligan's appointment.
Curry heard a little more than an hour of arguments from defense attorneys and prosecutors.
She did not rule from the bench, but she did say she plans to issue her ruling by Thanksgiving.
