Prosecutors Challenge Judge's Decision in Comey Case
•
Federal prosecutors are appealing a magistrate judges decision in the James Comey case, alleging potential misinterpretations of key facts. The judge had previously cautioned about profound investigative missteps that could have compromised the proceedings. Prosecutors argue that disclosing grand jury materials, as ordered by the judge, is unwarranted based on the presented facts. The judge had granted Comeys attorneys access to a broad range of grand jury evidence, including a full transcript and recording of a September grand jury presentation by U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan. The Justice Department has sought an emergency stay of this order, contending that the disclosure is not justified and the judges analysis may have been based on incorrect interpretations. Comey has pleaded not guilty to charges of false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
