- James filed a motion to enforce rules on extrajudicial disclosures, citing Halligan's comments, while James Comey already challenged Halligan's interim appointment in court.
- The indictment alleges approximately $18,933 in ill-gotten gains and one count each of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution, fueling debates on selective prosecutions and public trust.
