Trump's DOJ Pick Humiliated After Embarrassing James Comey Spelling Error [View all]

Donald Trump’s fresh pick as the attorney to indict former FBI Director James Comey has made an embarrassing blunder while trumpeting the news in her first week on the job.

Trump foe Comey was charged with making a false statement and obstruction relating to his oral testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 30, 2020. At the time, he was heading the investigation into claims of Russian interference in Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Lindsey Halligan, the former beauty queen who has been the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia since Monday, issued a statement on Thursday to announce Comey’s indictment.

However, the quote attributed to Halligan, who has taken on the new role with no previous prosecutorial experience, contains a major spelling error.

“The balance of power is a bedrock principal of our democracy,” it reads, rather than “principle.”
