Federal prosecutors targeting James Comey just ran into another massive roadblock after a federal judge temporarily blocked them from accessing key evidence, making an already convoluted criminal case even more difficult. This is a tough blow for the Department of Justice, especially since the Trump administration is expected to try to re-indict the former FBI director.
On Saturday, Federal District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued a four-page order preventing prosecutors from using materials taken from Daniel Richman, a Columbia University law school professor who has represented Comey as an attorney. The order blocking access to the files will remain in effect until December 12, per The Guardian.
