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...

Today a grand jury in northern Virginia indicted James Comey on two criminal counts that I take to be essentially the same. The indictment has nothing to do, at least directly, with Comey’s misconduct in connection with the Russia Collusion Hoax. He deserves to go down in history as a betrayer of his office and of the American people for that shameful conduct. Here, he is charged with a single misdeed: lying when he told a Senate committee, in response to a question from Ted Cruz, that he did not authorize someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source....

MILWAUKEE —A federal grand jury indicted Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on Tuesday. The FBI arrested Dugan on federal obstruction charges last month, after they alleged she helped an undocumented migrant avoid immigration agents who were trying to arrest him after his appearance in her courtroom.

YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — The leader of Armenia on Wednesday declared his intention to pull out of a Russia-dominated security alliance of several ex-Soviet nations as tensions rise between the two allies. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said his government will decide later when to leave the Collective Security Treaty Organization, or CSTO, a grouping that includes Russia and the former Soviet Central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Amid the widening rift with Russia, Armenia earlier froze its participation in the alliance, canceled its involvement in joint military drills and snubbed CSTO summits. Pashinyan said Wednesday for the...

Sean “Diddy” Combs once dangled a victim over an apartment balcony, prosecutors alleged in a new indictment that added two more victims and an earlier start date to the disgraced star’s alleged reign of sexual terror. Combs, 55, sexually abused his victims for at least two decades from 2004 to 2024, federal prosecutors said in a superseding indictment filed Thursday. Previously, the earliest allegations dated to 2008. The new indictment adds new accusations against the music mogul and expands the timeline of the alleged abuse — but does not include any new charges. The two new anonymous victims were allegedly...

Hunter Biden shocked the California courtroom on Thursday as he officially entered a guilty plea while jury selection was underway for his federal tax evasion trial. In December Hunter Biden was hit with a 9-count indictment filed in the Central District of California: Tax evasion, failure to file/pay taxes, and false/fraudulent tax return.

The indictment details a “four-year scheme” to avoid the $1.4+ million tax obligations he owed between 2016 and 2019 and to file false returns. Hunter...

After a year of legal, judicial, and political drama, Special Counsel Jack Smith just filed a superseding indictment to replace the first indictment he handed down against Donald Trump in August 2023 related to the events of January 6 and the former president’s alleged attempts to “overturn” the 2020 election. Trump faces the four same charges—three conspiracy and one obstruction count—but the new version is nine pages shorter as Smith had to follow the presidential immunity guidance set forth by the Supreme Court in the Trump v US opinion published on July 1. The special counsel removed a large swath...

But there is more that is far from funny. Not only did I publicly detail the misfeasance of Magistrate Judge Robinson in dismissing the indictment against the fugitive Elizabeth Duke in my Petition, I requested in my Motion to Expedite that the Court let me file ex parte and under seal information which would explain "why" the Obama Department of Justice took the extraordinary step -- in violation of their own regulations -- to orally move without explanation to dismiss an indictment against a fugitive terrorist.
