The defective indictment of James Comey

James Comey was indicted on charges of making false statements before Congress despite weak evidence and a split grand jury, amid pressure from former President Trump.

  • A federal grand jury indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two counts related to false statements and obstruction on September 25, 2025.
  • The indictment followed President Trump’s direct pressure on Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute Comey for his 2020 congressional testimony amid a politically charged environment.
  • Legal experts criticize the prosecution for weak evidence, questionable appointment of acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, and view the case as driven by Trump’s personal vendetta rather than legal merit.
  • The grand jury rejected one charge outright while narrowly approving the two others by a 14-9 vote among 23 jurors, indicating a slim majority behind the indictment.
  • The indictment has raised concerns over DOJ politicization and erosion of its independence, prompting condemnation from retired judges and calls for Comey’s right to a fair, speedy trial.
