United States v. Comey

Case Overview

This case involves charges brought against James Comey (and Tish James) by interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, whose appointment may have been improper under rules limiting unconfirmed prosecutors. The judge noted that an unconfirmed prosecutor's indictment was dismissed in a prior Trump case (by Judge Cannon), and here Halligan alone signed the charging documents, exposing her to Rule 11 sanctions. Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed she validated the indictment, but the grand jury transcript she supposedly reviewed was missing key portions, raising doubts about her ratification and potentially leading to bar discipline.
