The Justice Department could present a new indictment against James Comey to a grand jury as soon as this week, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
Whatever comes next may happen quickly, and no matter what, the sources told CNN, prosecutors will likely present new indictments against the former FBI director and New York Attorney General Letitia James to grand juries in the Eastern District of Virginia.
The previous cases against Comey and James were dismissed last week after a judge found that interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan didn’t have the authority of a prosecutor when the indictments were returned in late September and early October. The Trump administration within hours announced they intended to appeal, though they haven’t done so yet. Internal strategy discussions since then appear to have pushed back that filing, one of the sources said.
Comey had previously pleaded not guilty to charges that he lied to Congress five years ago. James pleaded not guilty to mortgage fraud-related charges.
After the dismissals of their cases, FBI Director Kash Patel said over the weekend that “multiple responses” could come as early as “right after Thanksgiving” in the dismissed case against Comey."
