"Former FBI Director James Comey is pushing to dismiss the federal case against him by challenging the lawfulness of recently-appointed U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, the former personal attorney for President Donald Trump who secured the indictment against the president's rival. Comey on Tuesday filed a notion of intent, indicating his legal team will be filing a motion to dismiss the case later this week. The brief filing was made in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia;"
"Please take notice that on October 20, 2025, James Comey, by counsel, will file his motion to dismiss challenging the lawfulness of the appointment of the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, the document said. The filing comes a week after Comey pleaded not guilty to the two counts against him making a false statement to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding."
"Comey was indicted on Sept. 25 less than a week after the president urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to take action against Comey and other political enemies, including Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and New York AG Letitia James. President Trump celebrated the indictment on Truth Social and blasted Comey as One of the worst human beings in U.S. history. He has been so bad for our Country, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our Nation,"
James Comey filed a notice of intent indicating his legal team will file a motion to dismiss challenging the lawfulness of the appointment of U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan. Halligan previously served as a personal attorney for President Donald Trump and secured the indictment against Comey. The notice, filed in the Eastern District of Virginia, states the dismissal motion will be filed on October 20, 2025. The filing follows Comey's not guilty plea to counts of making a false statement to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. If the dismissal is denied, trial is set for January 2026.
