Former FBI Director James Comey's Case Sees Major Development

Washington D.C. – Legal pressures are intensifying for former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. A federal judge in Virginia indicated on Thursday that she expects to issue a ruling before Thanksgiving on the legality of Lindsey Halligan's service as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Halligan is the lead prosecutor in cases against both Comey and James.

Attorneys for Comey and James argued that Halligan’s appointment was improper because the previous interim U.S. Attorney’s 120-day term had expired, and federal law mandates that district judges fill such vacancies. They requested that the court disqualify Halligan and dismiss the indictments.
