Lindsey Halligan, President Trump’s pick last week to serve as Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia and who previously worked as a lawyer on Trump’s legal team between his first and second term, is expected to ask a grand jury in the coming days to indict Former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress, despite protestors and investigators at the Department of Justice determining there was insufficient evidence to charge him, according to ABC News.
Earlier this week, prosecutors presented Halligan — who only began serving as Acting Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia last week after the previous nominee reportedly was removed or quit due to pressure from President Trump, who is demanding charges be brought against several of his political opponents, including Sen. Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James — with a detailed memo recommending that she decline to bring perjury and obstruction charges against Comey.
A monthslong investigation into Comey by Attorney General Pam Bondi and prosecutors at the Justice Department failed to establish probable cause of a crime — meaning that not only would they be unable to secure a conviction of Comey by proving the claims beyond a reasonable doubt, but that they couldn’t reach a significantly lower standard to secure an indictment.
The memo from prosecutors appears to have been totally ignored by Halligan, who despite their recommendations, plans to present evidence to a grand jury before the statute of limitations for the alleged offense by Comey expires next week, sources told ABC.
