New York Attorney General Letitia James is challenging the authority of an acting U.S. attorney in Albany who is investigating her. Her lawyers argue John Sarcone's appointment was improper, making subpoenas he issued invalid. The dispute centers on Sarcone's role in investigating cases against Donald Trump and the National Rifle Association. Federal lawyers maintain Sarcone's position is legitimate and the subpoenas should stand. James' lawyers argue the subpoenas are invalid due to the improper way Sarcone was placed in the position by U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi.
