James Comey’s son-in-law, Troy Edwards, resigned from the US Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Virginia after Comey was indicted.
Troy Edwards was a prosecutor on the Oath Keepers January 6 trial.
Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two counts by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia – false statements and obstruction of justice.
“Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two of three counts sought by prosecutors — one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice — just days after President Donald Trump issued a public demand for his Justice Department to act “now” to bring prosecutions against Comey and other political foes, according to sources,” ABC News reported.
