Trump wrote in a Sept. 20 post on his Truth Social platform that "nothing is being done" to Comey, Schiff or James.
"They’re all guilty as hell," he said. "They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!"

"The official who purported to secure and sign the indictment was invalidly appointed to her position as interim U.S. Attorney. Because of that fundamental constitutional and statutory defect, the indictment is a nullity and must be dismissed," Comey’s legal team wrote.

The Justice Department maintains that Halligan’s appointment as interim U.S. attorney was lawful, arguing that it was in line with federal statute and the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.
Comey’s trial is scheduled to begin in January 2026.
