Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia have been ordered to turn over all discovery evidence required under federal law to former FBI Director James Comey’s legal team by the end of the day on Monday, even as they ask the court to restrict what information Comey can access or keep related to the criminal case.

In an order issued Sunday, U.S. District Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff, an appointee of former President Joe Biden , directed the Justice Department to produce all discovery materials to Comey’s defense team by 5 p.m. Monday. The order came after Comey’s attorneys complained that prosecutors had yet to deliver critical evidence despite looming pretrial deadlines.
