Judge Considers Disqualifying Prosecutor in NY
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
A federal judge in New York is considering disqualifying John Sarcone the Second, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District, over claims of improper appointment. Sarcone, who subpoenaed New York Attorney General Letitia James, is facing challenges to his authority in a Justice Department investigation into regulatory lawsuits James filed against former President Trump and the National Rifle Association. Jamess lawyers argue Sarcones appointment was not legitimate, making his actions unlawful. The situation mirrors legal challenges in Virginia and New Jersey, where interim U.S. attorneys were also deemed unlawfully appointed.
