What Is Happening In The James Comey Perjury Case? [0GT0rvJuTHr]
What Is Happening In The James Comey Perjury Case? James Comey Case Update – November 21, 2025 Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted September 25, 2025 (E.D. Va.) on two felony counts: - False statement to Congress (18 U.S.C. § 1001) - Obstruction of congressional proceeding (18 U.S.C. § 1505) Charges arise from his September 2020 Senate testimony about FBI leaks and the 2016 Russia investigation. Key recent developments - Case presented by interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan (no prior criminal-prosecution experience) after predecessor resigned. - Magistrate judge found “profound investigative missteps” and ordered rare disclosure of grand-jury records. - Nov 19 hearing: Government admitted full grand jury did not see final two-count indictment. - Nov 20 filing: DOJ now says transcripts show the grand jury did approve the substance. - Defense argues testimony was literally true (Bronston v. United States) and prosecution is vindictive. Status Trial nominally set for January 2026, but multiple dismissal motions pending (grand-jury defects, prosecutor appointment, selective prosecution, etc.). Outcome remains uncertain.
