LIVE: Judge dismisses Comey, James indictments after finding that prosecutor was illegally appointed A federal judge has dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, concluding that the prosecutor who brought the charges at President Donald Trump's urging was illegally appointed by the Justice Department. The rulings from U.S. District Cameron McGowan Currie amount to a stunning rebuke of the Trump administration's efforts to target Trump's political opponents as well as its legal maneuvering to hastily install a loyalist prosecutor willing to file the cases. The orders make Lindsey Halligan the latest Trump administration prosecutor to be disqualified because of the manner in which they were appointed. 8-year-old girl hit by…...

(KABC) -- Newly released body camera video shows the moments after a deadly shooting in Nevada that killed an 11-year-old boy in the back of a car during an alleged road rage incident. At approximately 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 14, two vehicles in traffic began "jockeying for positions trying to pass each other on the congested freeway," according to the Henderson Police Department. One of the vehicles tried to pass on the shoulder of the freeway, which is when both drivers rolled down their windows and began arguing, police said. A 22-year-old suspect in a four-door sedan allegedly fired a single shot from a handgun at a hybrid SUV driven by the victim's stepfather -- hitting the 11-year-old sitting in the back seat, police said.

9+ hour, 33+ min ago (348+ words) WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department renewed its request Monday to unseal Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking grand jury materials, saying Congress made clear in approving the release of investigative materials related to the prosecution of the late financier that documents such as the court records should be released. U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton signed the submission in Manhattan federal court asking that the judge issue an expedited ruling allowing the materials to be released now that President Donald Trump signed the action requiring the release of documents related to Epstein within 30 days. The Justice Department said the Congressional action overrode existing law in a way that permits the unsealing of the grand jury records. Judge Richard Berman previously denied a Trump administration request to make the Epstein grand jury transcripts public. Berman, who presided over Epstein's 2019 case, ruled in August that a "significant and…...

On Friday, the Department of Medical Examiner received a court order, initiated by the Los Angeles Police Department, to place a security hold on the teenager's case, officials said. The hold means that no records or details associated with the case, including the cause and manner of death and the medical examiner's report, can be released until the hold is lifted. "The Department's mission is to have full transparency with the community by providing information about our cases to empower people to make changes that save lives,…...
