Federal appeals court upholds block on DOJ subpoenas to New York AG Letitia James's office
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld a lower court ruling quashing Justice Department grand jury subpoenas seeking records from New York Attorney General Letitia James's office. The court found that John A. Sarcone III was not lawfully serving as Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York when he secured the subpoenas, and affirmed his disqualification from further involvement in the related criminal investigations. The DOJ stated it intends to appeal to the Supreme Court.
