Former FBI Director James Comey has pleaded not guilty to two criminal charges of providing false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding, which could carry up to five years in prison. His lawyers plan to file several motions to try to have the case dismissed, citing President Trump’s involvement as a key factor. The prosecution, led by Lindsey Halligan, faces challenges as Comey’s defense team questions the appointment of the prosecutor and the fairness of the grand jury proceedings. A trial is set for January 5 and could last two to three days.
