Trump’s Newly Appointed U.S. Attorney to Bring Charges Against Former FBI Director James Comey

HeadlineSep 25, 2025

Former FBI Director James Comey is reportedly set to be indicted on criminal charges in Virginia by next week. This comes just days after Erik Siebert, the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, resigned under pressure from President Trump after he refused to file charges against Comey. Earlier this week, Trump installed Lindsey Halligan, who was his personal lawyer, to replace Siebert. Halligan has no prosecutorial experience.

Meanwhile, the FBI says it found classified documents at former national security adviser John Bolton’s office last month while executing a search warrant. According to a court filing, the documents referenced weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. Mission to the U.N., and the U.S. government’s strategic communications. Bolton became a vocal critic of Trump after resigning in 2019 and writing a tell-all book about his time in the first Trump administration.
