A federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two counts: making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding. U.S. Magistrate Judge Lindsey Vaala expressed surprise over two inconsistent versions of the indictment presented, one of which was not seen by the interim U.S. Attorney, Lindsey Halligan, who is also a former Trump lawyer. The unusual circumstances surrounding the indictment, including late court session and Halligan's direct involvement, have raised questions.
