Former FBI Director James Comey is set to appear in court Wednesday for an arraignment on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation. He was indicted after a grand jury found evidence of alleged false statements made during a 2020 Senate hearing. Comey maintains his innocence and has called for a trial. The arraignment will involve the judge informing him of the charges, allowing him to enter a plea, and potentially setting conditions for pre-trial release. The case is being overseen by prosecutor Lindsey Halligan and Comey is represented by attorney Patrick Fitzgerald.
