SIGNIFICANT NEWS EVENTS US Judge Tosses Case Against Ex-FBI Chief Comey, New York AG James Reuters (11/24, Lynch, Goudstvard) reported that a federal Judge dismissed criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James after ruling that Lindsey Halligan, the Trump-appointed interim U.S. attorney who brought the cases, lacked the lawful authority required to do so. According to the article, the Judge held that all actions taken under Halligan's improper appointment, including the indictments, were invalid and dismissed the prosecutions without prejudice, leaving the door open for the Justice Department to seek new indictments with a different prosecutor. The article also stated that AG Bondi vowed to appeal and insisted Halligan could continue as a special U.S. attorney, while Comey and James welcomed the ruling, characterizing the prosecutions as politically motivated and pledging to challenge any renewed charges. The article explained that defense lawyers argued Halligan's appointment violated federal limits on interim U.S. attorney appointments and circumvented Senate confirmation, whereas the Justice Department claimed multiple interim appointments were allowed and AG Bondi tried unsuccessfully to retroactively ratify Halligan's actions. The article noted that Halligan moved swiftly to secure indictments against Comey and James after career prosecutors declined to participate and subsequently came under judicial scrutiny over her handling of the Comey case, including possible legal errors in how evidence was presented and concerns about what the grand Jury actually saw.

Continued Reporting: Cops Swann Epstein Records Vault After Cover-up Claims Fox News (11/24, Rumpf-Whitten) reported that the FBI deployed police officers to guard its Central Records Complex in Winchester, Virginia, after online chatter about possible protests circulated in response to Mark Epstein's claims that Director Patel was overseeing a "cover-up" of Jeffrey Epstein-related materials. The article explained that bureau police normally based at FBI Headquarters were sent to the 256,000-square- foot facility after Mark Epstein's unsupported allegations — including that files were being edited to remove Republican names — spread widely EFTA01660806 online and prompted some Reddit users to discuss staging demonstrations. According to the article, Bloomberg reported that the FBI viewed the online discussions as potentially threatening and increased protection for staffand facilities, while a spokesperson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment The article added that lawmakers recently passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act requiring the Justice Department to release unclassified Epstein materials within 30 days, with President Donald Trump signing the measure and asserting that DOJ had already provided Congress with nearly 50,000 pages. The article noted that earlier reporting said FBI agents from the New York and Washington field offices, FOIA staff, and background•check specialists spent months reviewing Epstein-related documents in Winchester to determine what could legally be released, and that the House Oversight Committee has since published thousands ofEpstein's recovered emalls. Man Who Admitted Sex Trafficking 14-Year-Old From New Jersey Group Home Is Headed to Prison NJ.com (11/24, Sheldon) reported that Soaulb Butcher, a 31-year-old Brooklyn man, was sentenced to 10 years and one month in prison for sex trafficking a 14-year-old girl from a New Jersey group home. According to the article, Butcher pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of a minor after luring the girl away from her group home and exploiting her for money. The article noted that he and an unidentified co-conspirator posted over 200 advertisements on an escort website, arranging for customers to have sex with the girl in motel rooms. "Sexual exploitation is demeaning, damaging and puts already vulnerable minors in extremely unsafe circumstances," Stefanie Roddy, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Newark, said in a statement. "Butcher profited off of the arrangement he had with this victim. The FBI and its partners work tirelessly so that these minors get the protection they deserve from predators: Continued Reporting: Director Patel Under Scrutiny for Use of SWAT Teams to Protect His Girlfriend The New York Times (11/24, Feuer, Goldman, et al.) reported that Director Patel is facing mounting scrutiny over allegations that he has misused federal resources for personal purposes, including deploying FBI SWAT teams to provide security for his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, at concerts and public appearances, a practice former FBI officials describe as highly irregular. According to the article, Director Patel has also been criticized for his frequent use of government jets for what appear to be personal trips, including golf outings, a Scotland excursion, and visits to a private Texas hunting ranch, raising concerns about excessive and potentially improper taxpayer-funded travel. The article noted that the controversy intensified after Director Patel was seen in Las Vegas during the Fl Grand Prix, where a bystander shouted at him to "release the Epstein files," reflecting growing public frustration with his handling of matters related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The incident occurred days after President Donald Trump signed legislation ordering the DOJ and FBI to unseal additional Epstein-related records. Critics, ranging from former FBI agents to online commentators, argue that Director Patel's actions represent an abuse ofauthority and a troubling deviation from established federal protocols, prompting calls for oversight and accountability.
