Halligan Indicts Comey Despite Obstacles

U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, appointed by President Trump, secured a grand jury indictment against former FBI Director James Comey on two of three counts. Despite facing an under-resourced effort and skepticism from Justice Department officials, Halligan presented the case herself. The indictment, viewed as a significant win for Trump's pursuit of political opponents, was met with White House and Justice Department statements of support, though some career prosecutors felt their efforts were undermined. Halligan now faces a challenging prosecution of Comey.
