U.S. Judge Questions Validity of Comey Indictment: Procedural Error, Political Motives, and Grand Jury DisputeA U.S. judge is scrutinizing the validity of the indictment against former FBI director James Comey, following prosecutors admission that the final version was not presented to the entire grand jury. Comeys lawyers argued for dismissal due to this procedural error, as he pleaded not guilty to charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional investigation. The hearing also addressed Comeys claim of a vindictive prosecution, aimed at punishing him for criticizing the president. Prosecutor Lindsey Halligans actions were under scrutiny, with the judge questioning her about the indictment version presented to the grand jury. The cases future hangs in the balance due to this technical dispute and the grand jurys approval of a two-count indictment, which was not seen by the full grand jury.
