What happened: A judge has paused the Justice Department's attempt to seek a new indictment against James Comey, blocking access to key evidence until at least next Friday.
Why it matters:
- This delay affects the timeline of the legal process involving Comey.
- It impacts both the Justice Department's case and Comey's legal defence.
MNN Take: The judge's ruling temporarily limits the government's ability to use previously gathered evidence, slowing the progress of the new indictment effort.
