Chapter 2: What did former FBI Director James Comey say about the dismissal of his case?
Former FBI Director James Comey says he's grateful that the case against him has been dismissed by a federal judge, but he believes it won't end there.
I know that Donald Trump will probably come after me again. And my attitude is going to be the same. I'm innocent. I am not afraid. And I believe in an independent federal judiciary.
U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan dismissed the case against Comey as well as the case against New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday. saying the prosecutor who brought the charges at President Trump's urging was illegally appointed by the Justice Department.
The dismissal of the cases against Comey and James is a blow to the administration's attempt to prosecute two prominent critics. But NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports the White House says it plans to appeal.
The judge ruled that Trump had not legally appointed Lindsey Halligan to the role of acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Halligan secured the indictments against Comey and James in that role. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt today addressed the judge's decision.
The Department of Justice will be appealing very soon, and it is our position that Lindsey Halligan is extremely qualified for this position, but more importantly, was legally appointed to it.
Comey was indicted in September with charges of obstructing justice and making a false statement to the Senate. James was indicted on charges of bank fraud and false statements to a financial institution. Both have pleaded not guilty. Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News.
