Washington — Former FBI Director James Comey is seeking to dismiss the criminal case against him because of what he claims were "fundamental errors" in the grand-jury process and interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan's handling of the indictment.

Comey's filing, submitted to the federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, on Friday, reflects information revealed during a court proceeding earlier this week, during which federal prosecutors said that the grand jury that indicted Comey on two criminal counts did not vote on the operative indictment.

Defense lawyers instead said that the grand jury rejected the only indictment that Halligan presented to it, and argued that the government's attempt to prosecute Comey without a "valid" indictment violates his Fifth Amendment rights.
