"Former FBI Director James Comey and his legal team filed a motion to dismiss the federal case against him, arguing in a court filing on Monday his indictment was the result of President Donald Trump's personal animus against him."
"The filing comes less than a week after Comey's legal team said it would be filing the motion and challenging the lawfulness of recently-appointed U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, the former personal attorney for President Trump who secured the indictment against the president's rival."
Former FBI Director James Comey and his legal team filed a motion to dismiss the federal case against him, asserting that his indictment resulted from President Donald Trump's personal animus. The legal team is also challenging the lawfulness of recently appointed U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, who previously served as President Trump's personal attorney and who secured the indictment. The filing follows an earlier notice from Comey's team that such a motion would be submitted. The challenge centers on alleged political bias and potential conflicts of interest undermining the prosecution's legitimacy and seeks dismissal on those grounds.
