The Justice Department is preparing to present a new indictment against former FBI Director James Comey and is expected to do the same for New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to CNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The developments come one week after a federal judge dismissed the original indictments against both officials. Senior U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie ruled that Lindsey Halligan, the interim U.S. Attorney who signed and presented the cases to a grand jury, lacked lawful authority to serve in the role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision voided all actions she had taken, including the indictments, but the judge dismissed the cases without prejudice, allowing prosecutors to refile charges with proper authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors could bring the Comey case to a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia as early as this week, according to CNN<\/a>, citing people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Trump addressed the ruling last week while speaking aboard Air Force One. He praised Halligan and said prosecutors retained \u201ca lot of options\u201d following the dismissal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey got out on a technicality, and you\u2019ll see what happens from here on,\u201d Trump said. He noted that the court did not prohibit refiling or appealing the cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial charges against Comey accused the former FBI director of making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. Letitia James had been charged with bank fraud and making false statements related to a mortgage application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
