Former FBI Director James Comey moved to dismiss the Justice Department indictment against him, filing motions that he was a victim of a vindictive prosecution by President Donald Trump and challenging the appointment of the prosecutor who brought the case.
“The government has singled out Mr. Comey for prosecution because of his protected speech and because of President Trump’s personal animus toward Mr. Comey,” according to a legal filing that Comey and his lawyers made in federal court in Virginia on Monday.
