Comey’s Arraignment Postponed 3rd Time; Now in January

  • Judge Louise Flanagan pushed FBI Director James Comey's arraignment to January 2027, with trial now set for February. This marks the third delay since the summer.
  • Prosecutors allege Comey threatened Donald Trump in an Instagram post of seashells spelling 86 47, which they interpret as a call to "Kill President Trump."
  • Comey's team contended the prosecution was "not based on a good-faith application of the law to the facts," arguing it effectuates a campaign to punish him for protected speech.
  • Flanagan wrote that the "gravity of the charges, pending motions, and the need to provide defense counsel additional time to prepare for trial" necessitated the continuance.
  • Numerous motions to dismiss the case remain pending, including arguments that the prosecution is driven by animus from the President. Comey has not yet entered a plea.
