Comey is represented by Jessica Carmichael of Carmichael Ellis & Brock and Patrick J. Fitzgerald, while the government’s team includes Lindsey Halligan, Gabriel J. Diaz, and Nathaniel T. Lemons of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia.
If convicted, Comey could face prison time — but his defense insists the case is nothing more than political theater in a federal courtroom.
