Recent developments center on the April 2026 federal indictment in North Carolina charging James Comey with threatening the president and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce over a 2025 social media post. Comey has pleaded not guilty and filed multiple motions to dismiss on grounds including lack of a true threat, vindictive and selective prosecution, and First Amendment protections. The lead prosecutor withdrew from the case in May 2026 without explanation, and hearings on dismissal motions were pending into July. An earlier 2025 indictment on false statements and obstruction charges was dismissed without prejudice in November 2025 due to the unlawful appointment of the interim U.S. attorney, with the DOJ appeal still unresolved. These procedural and substantive weaknesses have shaped trader consensus around a high likelihood of charges being dropped by year-end.
