A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Justice Department from using key evidence to seek a new indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, complicating the Trump administration’s efforts to bring fresh charges as soon as next week. The ruling was issued Saturday night by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, the New York Times reports. The decision prevents prosecutors from relying on communications between Comey and Daniel Richman, a Columbia law professor and former federal prosecutor, which formed the backbone of the original case against Comey, though it does not preclude another attempt to win an indictment, per the AP.
