Former FBI Director Comey seeks dismissal of DOJ case

Former FBI Director James Comey has asked a judge to dismiss the Justice Department’s lawsuit against him. During a Wednesday court hearing, the Justice Department admitted the grand jury that charged Comey wasn’t presented with a copy of the final indictment. Comey’s lawyers say that lapse is grounds for dismissal of the case. Government lawyers denied that the prosecution was vindictive or selective. The former FBI director has pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of making a false statement and obstructing Congress, and has denied any wrongdoing.
