A U.S. Attorney, a type of prosecutor, is facing a challenging situation. He is investigating the actions of James Comey, a former government director. The prosecutor's office is working quickly because there is a deadline.
The main task for the prosecutor is to decide if there is enough evidence against Mr. Comey. He must then present this evidence to a special group of citizens. This group is known as a grand jury.
The grand jury's job is to listen to the evidence and decide if a crime may have been committed. If they believe there is enough proof, they will issue an indictment, which is a formal accusation. This would mean Mr. Comey would have to go to trial.
However, the outcome is uncertain. It is not clear if the prosecutor will be able to convince the jurors. Everyone is watching closely to see if this high-profile case will move forward to a trial.
