Ex-Comey ally sues over FBI’s misuse of seized files in dropped case
A new lawsuit by Daniel Richman, a former friend and lawyer of ex-FBI Director James Comey, is challenging the Department of Education’s handling of evidence. The case centres on data seized from Richman between 2019 and 2020, later used in Comey’s now-dismissed criminal proceedings. The legal action could reignite scrutiny of prosecutorial decisions before the case was dropped.
The FBI initially searched Richman’s devices as part of the Arctic Haze investigation, a separate probe unrelated to Comey. However, agents collected files that were later repurposed in the case against the former FBI chief. The original warrants did not permit the seizure of evidence tied to Comey’s eventual charges of lying to Congress.
The lawsuit seeks to prevent the Department of Education from using Richman’s seized files and to examine whether his rights were violated. A ruling in his favour could prompt wider investigations into how evidence was handled in Comey’s case. For now, the court’s next steps remain uncertain.
