US EditionJustice Department defends Trump’s post as it urges judge to reject Comey’s effort to dismiss case
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump told CBS's 60 Minutes that DOJ didn't need his instruction because `they were so crooked, they were so corrupt`, as he earlier demanded `JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED` for James Comey, Letitia James, and Adam Schiff.
- On Oct. 16, a federal grand jury returned an Espionage Act indictment against John Bolton, former National Security Adviser, charging 18 counts split into eight transmission and 10 retention counts from April 9, 2018, through Aug. 22, 2025, tied to diary entries and FBI seizures.
- Prosecutors highlight messages between James Comey and Daniel Richman as evidence, while Comey's lawyers last week sought grand jury transcripts and argued the charges stem from 'personal spite' last month.
- The Justice Department urged a federal judge Monday to reject James Comey's claim of political retribution, following Lindsey Halligan's appointment as U.S. attorney to replace Erik Siebert.
- The Justice Department acknowledged President Donald Trump's posts reflect his view that Comey committed crimes, while prosecutors say there is 'not direct evidence of a vindictive motive'; critics like Patrick Fitzgerald and CBS Anchor Norah O'Donnell argue the posts show a pattern singling out Trump critics.
