James Comey files case against House Republicans to stop subpoena

  1. Comey filed a motion Thursday to quash the subpoena forcing him to testify behind closed doors next week to the House, saying such secret testimony violates Congress's own rules.
  2. Former FBI Director James Comey is sworn in during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, Thursday, June 8, 2017, in Washington.
  3. Comey should not be coerced into participating in an improper and partisan effort to undermine the legitimacy of an institution that he served for the better part of four years, his lawyers argued in court papers.
  4. Comey to Capitol Hill to explain his decisions related to the 2016 election, particularly investigations into Hillary Clinton's use of her personal email and the probe into Russian activities during the campaign.
  5. Comey says in the court filings he'd be willing to talk publicly but said the closed-door session the House has planned is a set-up.
  6. He's asked the federal district court in Washington, D.C., to both delay Monday's testimony and to quash the subpoenas outright.
