Justice Department considers new charges against James Comey

Following a federal judge’s dismissal of cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, the Justice Department is contemplating new indictments without the previous legal complications from Lindsey Halligan’s actions. Attorney General Pam Bondi indicated an appeal would be filed, but the department is now considering fresh cases, though challenges remain regarding selective prosecution claims. Comey’s prior indictment was based on testimony from 2020, which has a five-year statute of limitations, while James’ case has more time. Comey has requested a federal judge to return property seized during prior investigations, citing constitutional violations.
