WASHINGTON — The Department of Transportation announced Thursday it was sidelining prosecutors who claimed the agency’s move to eliminate congestion pricing in New York was “very unlikely” to succeed — after the feds mistakenly divulged their lack of confidence in a court filing. The Manhattan attorneys have since been replaced by others in the Department of Justice’s Civil Division, according to a DOT spokeswoman, who blasted the Southern District of New York for the “legal malpractice” of leaking internal deliberations about the tolling program. “Are SDNY lawyers on this case incompetent or was this their attempt to RESIST? At the very least, it’s legal malpractice,” said spokeswoman Halee Dobbins.
