James Comey's son-in-law, Troy A. Edwards, Jr., resigned as a senior national security prosecutor shortly after the former FBI director was indicted on charges of false statements and obstruction. Edwards' resignation came as the same Virginia office he worked for is prosecuting his father-in-law. Comey, who stated his innocence and welcomed a trial, faces potential prison time. This follows the earlier firing and lawsuit by Comey's daughter, Maurene Comey, who alleged retaliation.
