US EditionTrump says he hopes ‘there will be others’ charged after Comey
The indictment accuses Comey of lying to Congress and obstructing justice, marking the first high-profile conviction attempt in Trump’s campaign against political opponents.
- A federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday on one count each of making a false statement and obstruction, with the Department of Justice filing the charges.
- The indictment stems from Comey's Sept. 30, 2020 Senate Judiciary Committee testimony, alleging he falsely denied authorizing an anonymous source, implicating Andrew McCabe.
- Legal reviewers pointed to prior DOJ inspector general scrutiny as the indictment document is less than two pages and Comey is the first former senior official charged in the Russia collusion investigation.
- Comey responded in an Instagram video asserting his innocence and calling for a trial, while the case was assigned to Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee.
- Critics warned the move risks weaponizing the Department of Justice and undermining the rule of law, viewing the charges as part of President Donald Trump’s yearslong campaign of retribution.
