"Comey is represented by former federal prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald and experienced criminal defense attorney Jessica Nicole Carmichael. According to The New York Times, Comey's attorneys plan to file motions to dismiss the case as malicious prosecution, as well as challenging Halligan's appointment. District Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee, was assigned to the case and set the trial date for January 5, 2026."
"The order he signed, however, had an amusing typo, making it impossible for Comey to make it to court to defend himself. As noted by legal reporter Seamus Hughes, the order Nachmanoff signed setting forth the schedule for pre-trial motions, hearings, and the trial itself listed the trial date of Monday, January 5, 2025 that's nine months ago in 2025, not 2026."
James Comey pleaded not guilty to two federal counts: making a false statement to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding, and he requested a jury trial after waiving formal reading of the indictment. The prosecution has drawn widespread criticism for perceived lack of legal merit and alleged political motivation, with noted flaws in filings by U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan. Comey is defended by Patrick J. Fitzgerald and Jessica Nicole Carmichael, who plan motions to dismiss as malicious prosecution and to challenge Halligan's appointment. Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff set a trial for January 5, 2026, but his order mistakenly listed 2025.
