A federal judge will not allow the Justice Department to search James Comey’s mole Daniel Richman’s data for classified information.
US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton appointee, won’t let the feds search Richman’s personal computer hard drive for additional classified information without a search warrant.
Earlier this month, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered the DOJ to return all materials it seized from Comey’s media mole a week after she blocked federal prosecutors from accessing key evidence in the criminal case against James Comey.
Comey’s secret media mole, Daniel Richman, recently sought to block the Justice Department from accessing his files as the Trump Administration prepares to hit James Comey with a new indictment.
The feds seized materials from Daniel Richman several years ago, and he asked a judge to block the DOJ from accessing his files.
A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey in September. He was indicted on two counts – false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
The charges are related to Comey’s testimony to Senate investigators in September 2020 about whether he authorized leaks to the media.
Newly released November 2016 emails reveal that James Comey was guiding his media mole, Daniel Richman, and authorized leaks to the media.
Comey’s case was thrown out after a separate Clinton judge dismissed the case based on the Appointments Clause.
Earlier this month, Judge Kollar-Kotelly ordered the DOJ to return all data it seized from Daniel Richman.
Over the weekend, Kollar-Kotelly blocked the DOJ from searching Richman’s materials.
“ORDERED that the Government shall not review Petitioner Richman’s materials for any additional classified material beyond the single classified memorandum from Mr. Comey that was originally contained in Petitioner Richman’s personal computer hard drive without first obtaining a valid search warrant,” Kollar-Kotelly wrote.
Judge Kollar-Kotelly also gave Attorney General Pam Bondi until January 5, 2026, to certify the transfer of Richman’s data.
JUST IN: Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly (Clinton) won’t let feds search Comey friend Daniel Richman’s data for potentially classified info beyond 1 document they’ve deemed low-level classified. But gives govt more time to certify handover of data. Doc: https://t.co/ZqBMidegEH
