James Comey seeks case dismissal, challenges Trump prosecutor Halligan

Comey also argued in a series of impeachment petitions filed in federal court in eastern Virginia that the indictment against him was fatally flawed because his prosecutor, interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed.
