Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia revived the case against Comey shortly after Halligan was sworn in Monday, and are preparing to seek an indictment as early as Thursday before a grand jury in Richmond, according to three people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case. The matter was investigated in Virginia because Comey testified remotely from his home in McLean.

Trump urged Bondi in a social media post over the weekend to charge Comey, James and Schiff with crimes. “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility,” he wrote. “They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

Siebert, a career prosecutor who had been serving as interim U.S. attorney since January, determined that the evidence that Comey made materially false statements was insufficient to charge the former FBI director. Investigators analyzed at least two of Comey’s responses to questions from Republican senators at the September 2020 hearing, according to the people familiar with the matter.
