She told the magistrate judge that the 2 count indictment was only given to the grand jury foreman and one other juror.
Then she said the 2 count indictment was actually presented to the grand jury
The turn of events comes a day after federal prosecutors admitted in court that not all grand jury members saw the final version of the indictment against the former FBI director.

Justice Department reverses course, now says full grand jury reviewed James Comey's indictment
Lindsey Halligan, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, presented the case by herself to the grand jury on Sept. 25. She testified Wednesday that when jurors voted to indict Comey on two of the three counts submitted in the original indictment, the full grand jury hadn’t reviewed a final revised document showing the two counts the former FBI director was charged with. Instead, its viewing was limited to the jury foreperson and an additional grand juror.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Tyler Lemons, who is leading the prosecution of Comey, also said the full grand jury hadn’t reviewed the final indictment.
But in a court filing Thursday titled “Government's Notice Correcting the Record," federal prosecutors said the full grand jury did review the final indictment.
