Comey asks court to dismiss indictment

Source: United Press International

“Former FBI Director James Comey has asked a federal judge to dismiss the Justice Department’s indictment against him, arguing he is being politically and unconstitutionally prosecuted by President Donald Trump because of their feud. Comey has pleaded not guilty to charges of making a false statement and obstruction in connection with testimony he gave before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2020. The indictment against him was filed late last month by a junior prosecutor who replaced U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, who resigned under pressure from the Trump administration. Siebert had been accused by Trump of intentionally delaying taking action against Comey. The new U.S. attorney filed the indictment against Comey just days before the statute of limitations was to expire.” (0/21/25)
