Comey asks judge to toss Trump DOJ indictment, citing vindictive prosecution - CNN [View all]

Former FBI Director James Comey launched two efforts Monday to have the federal charges he faces for allegedly lying during congressional testimony thrown out: one that claims his case is the result of a personal vendetta by President Donald Trump, and one that says the case​ is illegitimate. The motions begin Comey’s official defense in the case brought by Trump’s Justice Department in late September. He has pleaded not guilty to the two charges he faces for lying and obstruction.
