The federal prosecutor overseeing the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey turned over only a partial transcript of grand jury indictment proceedings to a judge that did not include what she had said in front of grand jurors.

U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie called out the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, for the partial transcript in an order on Tuesday and demanded she submit the whole thing as requested.

It’s the latest indication that the judge is closely examining the conduct of the politically-appointed acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who is fighting off a bid by Comey’s legal team to disqualify her from the case.
