A federal judge's dismissal of indictments sought by former President Trump has triggered a rare legal process. This action now allows federal judges to appoint a new U.S. attorney.

This judicial appointment will handle sensitive cases. These include matters involving former FBI Director James Comey and others seen as political opponents of the former president. The selection of this new prosecutor is now a critical next step.
