Washington Examiner Justice Department Reporter Kaelan Deese said Lindsey Halligan , the new U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, will rely on “lined” prosecutors in office when prosecuting former FBI Director James Comey’s case.

Comey was indicted on Thursday by a federal grand jury on two of the three counts sought by prosecutors — one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice. The case is based on his testimony in 2020 before the Senate Judiciary Committee about his role in the FBI’s handling of the Trump-Russia investigation.
