DOJ Now Says Comey Grand Jury Did See Final Indictment

The prosecutor hand-picked by President Donald Trump to pursue a criminal case against James Comey now says the indictment of the former FBI director was properly presented to a grand jury for a vote — a day after telling a judge the final version of the charging papers was never shown to the full jury.

In a “notice correcting the record” filed Thursday, Lindsey Halligan, who was recently appointed as interim US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, told the judge presiding over the case that a transcript of grand jury proceedings “conclusively” shows that the full panel saw the final version of the indictment.
