Washington Examiner’s Justice Department Reporter Kaelan Deese said on Wednesday that former FBI Director James Comey’s lawyers will likely try to challenge his trial, specifically the appointment of U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan.

Comey made history when Halligan indicted him on Sept. 25, making him the first former FBI director to be criminally charged after leaving office. He pleaded not guilty to charges of making false statements and obstructing a 2020 congressional proceeding during his arraignment Wednesday morning.
