Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional inquiry. His case will be overseen by Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee with a long history as a federal defender and magistrate judge.
Comey, a frequent Trump critic, has pleaded not guilty and is set for arraignment on Oct. 9. The trial, led by U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, is expected to be one of the most politically charged cases of the Trump era.
