“James Comey pleaded not guilty Wednesday to criminal charges that were demanded by President Donald Trump and secured by one of his former personal lawyers, who has never prosecuted a case before. … Grand jurors rejected one of the three counts [Lindsey] Halligan presented but approved two others: one for allegedly lying to Congress and another for allegedly obstructing Congress. … Comey headed the FBI when Trump took office in his first term and his 2016 campaign’s potential ties to Russia were under investigation. Trump fired Comey in 2017 after Comey said he refused to pledge loyalty to the president.” (10/08/25)
