In seeking dismissal, James Comey’s attorneys revealed that “Person 3” in his indictment is Daniel Richman, a longtime friend and former FBI special government employee. Comey faces counts for lying to Congress and obstructing a 2020 congressional inquiry over whether he authorized anonymous sourcing about the Clinton investigation. The filing says prosecutors misquoted testimony and misleadingly tied Ted Cruz’s McCabe-focused questioning to Richman, calling the case driven by President Trump’s animus. The Justice Department has not charged Richman; a separate “Arctic Haze” leak probe into Clinton-related reporting closed without charges.
