The Department of Justice (DOJ) is thinking about filing new charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. This follows the dismissal of their previous indictments by a federal judge.
• Comey was indicted for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing an investigation, while James faced charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution. Both have pleaded not guilty.
• A judge dismissed their cases, stating that the U. S. Attorney who filed the charges was unconstitutionally appointed, without judging the case's merits.
• Comey asserted his innocence, and James expressed confidence in confronting the charges.
• Reports indicate that the DOJ may present new indictments for Comey by the end of the week, with James's situation being less certain.
• Prosecutors are expected to take the cases to grand juries in the Eastern District of Virginia.
• Both Comey and James's prior statements contain assertions that could complicate their situations if re-indicted.
The DOJ's next steps regarding Comey and James’s potential new indictments are imminent, with significant developments expected soon.
