Comey's Trial Over Threats To Kill Trump Slips To 2027
Comey's second unopposed delay since his April 28 indictment already pushed a July 15 trial date once, to October 21.
- A grand jury indicted Comey April 28, 2026, on two counts under 18 U.S.C. §§ 871, 875(c).
- The original July 15, 2026 trial date already slipped once, to October 21, 2026.
- Comey's counsel cited pending dismissal motions and a Fourth Circuit argument set for September 15.
Why it matters: The government says it is ready for trial now, yet it does not object to waiting a year.
