“On August 5, 2025, a federal prosecutor, on behalf of the United States (the ‘Federal Government’), requested that grand jury subpoenas be issued to a state prosecutor – the office of New York’s Attorney General, Letitia James (the ‘State Government’). The subpoenas signaled an ongoing federal criminal investigation into two civil cases brought by the State of New York against President Donald J Trump and the National Rifle Association (‘NRA’). John A Sarcone III, the recently installed Acting US Attorney for the Northern District of New York (‘NDNY’) personally directed the issuance of both subpoenas; his is the only name on the subpoenas and the documents sought are returnable to him personally,” writes Judge Lorna Schofield in an order that goes on a little bit before getting to the part where the subpoenas are quashed and Sarcone needs to pack his shit and get the fuck out.
