💨 Abstract

A federal judge ordered the Justice Department to return computer files to Daniel Richman, a friend of former FBI Director James Comey, after ruling that prosecutors violated Richman's constitutional rights. The files, initially obtained during a media leak investigation, were searched without a warrant as part of a potential case against Comey. The judge's decision hinders the government's efforts to indict Comey for allegedly lying to Congress. The Justice Department can still seek access to the files with a proper warrant.
