flag A judge ruled that John Sarcone lacked authority to issue subpoenas, invalidating them due to improper appointment under federal law.

flag According to a federal judge, acting U.S. attorney John Sarcone's subpoenas to New York Attorney General Letitia James are void because he was not authorized to hold the position. flag Because Sarcone was neither confirmed by the Senate nor appointed by the federal judiciary, Judge Lorna G. Schofield found that Sarcone's appointment violated the Vacancies Reform Act and that his extension beyond the 120-day limit was unlawful. flag The ruling casts doubt on the legitimacy of some Trump-era appointments and invalidates actions taken under his authority, in line with similar decisions in other states. flag The court's decision highlights procedural shortcomings in federal prosecutorial appointments, despite the Justice Department's insistence that Sarcone was appointed appropriately.
