TL;DR

James Comey has requested a federal judge to dismiss his criminal case, claiming he is being vindictively prosecuted due to President Trump's animus and arguing that the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed. Comey faces charges related to his Senate testimony, but his legal team contends the indictment is flawed because Halligan's appointment was illegal.
