What to know about Lindsey Halligan’s big grand jury revelation at James Comey’s vindictive-prosecution hearing
Grand jury coordinator amended and re-presented indictment after jury returned, raising concerns about absence of court reporter during that process, key to claims of transcript completeness.
- On Nov. 19, 2025, Lindsey Halligan denied missing transcript actions and interactions with jurors; the EDVA Grand Jury coordinator amended the indictment by removing count one and re-presented it to the foreperson and deputy.
- Deliberations followed standard secrecy rules, with the jury deliberating about two hours while the court reporter and court security officer stayed in the grand jury room and adjacent secure area, then the court reporter transferred audio files and annotations to an envelope after jurors were released.
- The transcription service reported that apart from one ELMO/AV system glitch assisted by jurors, the audio files and timestamped annotations match perfectly with no missed testimony.
- Halligan insists all grand jury interactions are in the transcript, but filings note the coordinator re-presented a corrected indictment without a court reporter, leaving an unresolved evidentiary gap.
- Halligan says she was never alone before the grand jury, asserting a reporter was always present, while a prosecutor at EDVA instructed the coordinator to revamp the indictment which the coordinator then presented to the foreperson and deputy.
