Over 100 former Justice Department officials urge dismissal of James Comey’s charges, calling them politically motivated and a threat to prosecutorial independence.
Over 100 former Justice Department officials from both parties are urging a federal judge to dismiss criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey, calling the prosecution politically motivated and a violation of DOJ norms.
They argue the case, which stems from Comey’s 2016 testimony and his dismissal by President Trump, was driven by personal animus rather than legal merit, citing the replacement of career prosecutors who found insufficient evidence with a Trump loyalist.
The amicus brief highlights a social media post where Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue the case and notes the narrow grand jury vote.
A separate brief from scholars warns the case threatens democratic norms.
Comey has pleaded not guilty, and the filings, while non-binding, aim to underscore concerns about prosecutorial independence and the rule of law.
