Judge grills government over apparent lapses in Comey indictment Story by Peter Charalambous, Alexander Mallin, Katherine Faulders, Nicholas Kerr November 19, 2025 Lindsey Halligan, President Donald Trump's handpicked U.S. attorney who brought charges against former FBI Director James Comey, told a judge Wednesday that the full grand jury that indicted Comey did not see the final indictment -- only the foreperson and another grand juror did. Halligan's testimony came in a hearing Monday in which Comey is seeking to have the indictment thrown out on the grounds that it's the product of a vindictive prosecution. Halligan told U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff that the full grand jury saw the original indictment that was presented, but that the charges against Comey that are currently on the court docket were not reviewed by the full grand jury -- though they reflected the full grand jury’s full vote on the previously rejected indictment. Comey's attorney, Michael Dreeben, argued that the issue with the grand jury indictment clearly required Judge Nachmanoff to throw out the case. A Justice Department attorney also refused to answer whether a memo prepared by career prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office prior to Halligan's appointment recommended against bringing charges against Comey. Halligan sought the indictment of Comey after Trump forced out previous U.S. attorney Erik Siebert who sources said had resisted bringing cases against Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Halligan, who had no experience as a prosecutor, sought the indictment after Trump, in a social media post, called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to act "NOW!!!" to prosecute Comey, James and Rep. Adam Schiff. Judge grills government over apparent lapses in Comey indictment
