The criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey, one of Donald Trump’s most prominent adversaries, will be handled by the newest judge on the federal bench in Alexandria, Virginia.
Court records show that U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee confirmed in 2021, was randomly assigned Thursday to oversee the matter after a grand jury indicted Comey on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding.
