NY Attorney General Challenges Prosecutor, Caribbean Baseball, and Induction Stoves

NY Attorney General Challenges Federal Prosecutor

• 🏛️ New York Attorney General Letitia James is challenging the authority of Albany's top federal prosecutor, John Sarcone, to investigate her.
• ⚖️ James's lawyers argue that Sarcone, appointed on an interim basis and not confirmed by the US Senate, is not properly in office, and therefore, subpoenas he issued should be dismissed.
• 🔍 Sarcone's office contends he has the necessary authority and that a grand jury authorized the subpoenas as part of an investigation into alleged selective prosecution of President Trump.
• 🧑‍⚖️ A federal judge in Manhattan is currently considering the case.
