"On Monday, a judge ordered the prosecution led by Lindsey Halligan to hand over records relating to grand jury proceedings in the perjury case against Comey. In a scathing opinion, Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick cited government misconduct and fundamental misstatements that could compromise the integrity of the grand jury process. Halligan's appointment by President Donald Trump was the subject of controversy earlier in the year."
"He continued: I have to tell you, Bianca, it is very, very rare for grand jury materials to be released to defense counsel unless someone is about to testify in trial, who also testified before the grand jury. So something is amiss here. We don't know exactly what it was that this judge ordered. The most secretive things we have, aside from national security secrets, [is] grand jury testimony to be released"
