A federal judge in Virginia has ordered prosecutors to provide grand jury materials in the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey, citing “genuine issues of misconduct” that may lead to the dismissal of charges. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick highlighted significant investigative errors, including misstatements of law by acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, which could compromise the grand jury’s integrity. The ruling also pointed to potential violations regarding privileged attorney-client information. Both Halligan’s office and the Justice Department declined to comment on the ruling.
