⚖️ The arraignment was brief but packed with tension. Judge Michael Nachmanoff presided, and a tentative trial date has already been set for January 5, 2026. Comey’s defense will seek dismissal motions, citing claims of vindictive prosecution and questionable appointment of the U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.
