The Justice Department has added outside prosecutors to James Comey’s case as Donald Trump’s new goon, Lindsey Halligan, reportedly struggles to find staff within her office willing to present the charges.

Ahead of Comey’s arraignment in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday, two assistant U.S. attorneys who usually practice in the Eastern District of North Carolina filed appearances on Tuesday to help prosecute the former FBI director.

The staffing move highlights the bind facing Halligan, 36—the newly installed and inexperienced U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia—who, according to ABC News, has struggled to recruit in-house prosecutors to carry the case forward.



Comey, 64, was indicted last month on charges of making a false statement and obstruction tied to his 2020 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee about the FBI’s work—allegations he denies.
