What's Happening?
Former FBI Director James Comey has requested a federal judge to dismiss charges against him, arguing the case is a 'vindictive and selective prosecution.' Comey faces charges of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice related to the FBI's investigation
into alleged collusion between President Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia. Comey's legal team claims the prosecution is driven by Trump's personal animus and unlawful appointment of the prosecutor.

The outcome could impact perceptions of the Justice Department's impartiality and the integrity of legal proceedings.
