Full grand jury didn’t see final Comey indictment, prosecutors admit

Concession by federal lawyers adds to mounting challenges in effort to prosecute the former FBI director

Federal prosecutors on Wednesday said they had never presented the final version of the indictment filed against James Comey to a full federal grand jury, a concession that adds to mounting challenges in their effort to prosecute the former FBI director.

Prosecutors acknowledged the omission during a Wednesday hearing in which Comey's lawyers argued the case against him should be dismissed because it was a selective and vindictive prosecution.
