"A federal judge on Wednesday ordered prosecutors in the criminal case of the former FBI director James Comey to produce a trove of materials from the investigation, saying he was concerned that the justice department's position had been to indict first and investigate later. Magistrate judge William Fitzpatrick instructed prosecutors to produce by the end of the day on Thursday grand jury materials"
"At issue at Wednesday's hearing were communications seized by investigators who in 2019 and 2020 executed search warrants of devices belonging to Daniel Richman, a Columbia University law professor and close friend of Comey who had also served as a special government employee at the FBI."
A federal magistrate ordered prosecutors to produce grand jury materials and evidence seized during the investigation in the criminal case against former FBI director James Comey. The judge expressed concern the Justice Department's position appeared to be to indict first and investigate later. Comey is charged with lying to Congress in 2020 and has pleaded not guilty; his lawyers argue the prosecution is vindictive and politically directed. The hearing focused on communications seized from devices belonging to Daniel Richman, a Columbia law professor and close friend of Comey who had served as a special government employee. The judge directed prompt production so Comey's team can review potentially privileged materials.
