Michael Ben’Ary
Michael Ben’Ary was the chief of the national security section in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, where he had a notable career in federal prosecution. He was recently in the news after being fired by the Justice Department, following a false social media post from pro-Trump activist Julie Kelly that incorrectly linked him to the controversial case involving former FBI Director James Comey. Despite allegations of internal resistance against the Comey indictment, sources confirmed that Ben’Ary had no involvement in the case.
