A federal judge on Monday ordered the Department of Justice to release grand jury materials to attorneys acting on behalf of former FBI Director James Comey as they attempt to scrap a criminal case against him.
U.S. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick wrote in an order that possible errors and “government misconduct” by the team of interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan may have imperiled the case against Comey.
