James Comey’s son-in-law abruptly resigned from his gig as a federal prosecutor Thursday — just minutes after the ex-FBI director was indicted by a federal grand jury.
Troy Edwards Jr. quit his position as a senior national security prosecutor within the Eastern District of Virginia, which is the same office now prosecuting his father-in-law.
In a one-sentence resignation letter addressed to new US Attorney Lindsey Halligan, Edwards said he was leaving “to uphold my oath to the Constitution and the country.”
The indictment against Comey, 64, alleges he lied to Congress while giving his Sept. 30, 2020, congressional testimony amid the Trump-Russia collusion investigation.
Comey — who served as FBI director from 2013 until Trump fired him in 2017 — insisted he was innocent but was expected to surrender Friday.
The former top lawman was charged with making false statements and obstruction of justice. He is facing up to five years in prison if convicted on both counts.
Trump, who for years derided the Russiagate investigation as a “hoax” and a “witch hunt,” celebrated the indictment — insisting that the “dirty cop” ex-FBI director must pay “a very big price.”
**SNIP**
News of his son-in-law’s resignation comes after Comey’s eldest daughter, Maureen Comey, was fired from her job as a federal prosecutor in Manhattan in July.
She filed a lawsuit earlier this month claiming she was axed “solely or substantially because her father is former FBI Director James B. Comey.”
