Comey's Lawyers Ask Judge to Throw Out Case, Say Prosecutors Hid Helpful Evidence

On July 28, 2026, James Comey's lawyers asked a judge to dismiss his case. They say prosecutors left out key facts when seeking permission to search: an FBI review of John Gambino's file found no tie between the term '86' and crime. Comey faces up to 10 years over an Instagram post reading '86 47.' Trial starts October 21, 2026.
