President Donald Trump has, according to many legal experts, crossed the Rubicon.After years of railing against his perceived enemies and publicly threatening to use the government for revenge, he’s pressured the Justice Department to bring charges against someone he hates despite warnings from top prosecutors.

Lindsey Halligan, the US attorney overseeing the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey, once warned that the Department of Justice risked becoming a tool for political revenge. Today, Halligan is drawing criticism for leading one of the most politically ch arged prosecutions in decades.

DOJ officials are close to deciding whether to prosecute James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress, with a Virginia grand jury examining the matter.

The indictment of former FBI Director James Comey is only two pages and alleges he falsely testified to Congress in 2020 about authorizing someone to be an anonymous source in news stories. That brevity belies a convoluted and contentious backstory.

Halligan’s first prosecution faces pressure as filing errors fuel doubts about experience and the strength of the Comey case.

A magistrate judge expressed confusion and surprise at some points during a Thursday night court session when a federal grand jury returned James Comey's indictment.

Troy Edwards quit his job “to uphold my oath to the Constitution and the country,” he wrote in a one-sentence resignation letter addressed to Lindsey Halligan, the newly appointed acting U.S. Attorney in Virginia’s Eastern District, the office that charged Comey and employed Edwards.

Donald Trump’s handpicked U.S. Attorney in Virginia is planning to ask a grand jury in the coming days to indict former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress, despite prosecutors and investigators determining there was insufficient evidence to charge him,
