Split 4th Circuit panel grants Stein injunction against criminal charges linked to disputed N.C. law
In a split 2-1 ruling, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has granted N.C. Attorney General Josh Stein an injunction that will likely help him avoid criminal charges linked to a controversial 2020 campaign ad. The injunction blocks the Wake County district attorney from taking any action against Stein or his associates “pending further order of this Court.”
