Judge Demands Inquiry into DOJ's Handling of Comey Memos

A federal judge has ordered an investigation into the Justice Department's conduct during a probe of former FBI Director James Comey. The judge cited a "disturbing pattern" of legal errors made by prosecutors. These missteps involved the improper handling of memos written by Comey about his conversations with former President Donald Trump. The Justice Department previously investigated whether Comey mishandled classified information in these documents. In a separate development, a judge has decided to publicly release a list of names connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. This follows a recent legal request from former President Trump himself, who now supports the disclosure after previously hesitating to do so. The two cases are unrelated but both involve high-profile figures and ongoing court proceedings.
