Baltimore officer indicted for faking traffic stops to dodge calls

Baltimore police officer Dequwan Houchins, 30, is indicted on four counts of false entry and five counts of misconduct for allegedly recording traffic stops he didn’t make to dodge service calls.

Comey asks court to drop Trump '8647' threat case amid claims of vindictive prosecution and spying

Comey’s lawyers move to dismiss the April indictment accusing him of threatening President Trump, arguing vindictive and selective prosecution and alleging the Secret Service illegally surveilled Comey at the DOJ/White House’s request; the filing says the agency began treating the '8647' Instagram post as coded language for a threat on the same day Trump claimed Comey posed a danger, and that surveillance included monitoring Comey and his wife and even visits to their deceased son’s grave.
