Judge Blocks Access to Potentially Illegally Obtained Evidence in Comey Case
In a recent ruling, a federal judge has temporarily barred prosecutors from accessing materials from Daniel Richman, a key associate of former FBI Director James Comey. Richman, who served as Comey’s attorney and is a Columbia University law professor, sued the government over their access to his computer data, arguing it was obtained unlawfully. Prosecutors sought access to these materials to support their case against Comey, who is accused of lying to Congress. This legal development adds to the challenges faced by the prosecution, particularly given previous setbacks and procedural issues in the case against Comey.
