Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice.
“No one is above the law,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement on X. “Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.”
Comey, 64, is the highest-ranking former federal official to face charges in connection with the long-running FBI investigation into alleged collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russian officials.
Earlier Thursday, Trump denied unduly pressing prosecutors to charge Comey, telling reporters in the Oval Office: “They’re going to make a determination. I’m not making that determination. I think I’d be allowed to get involved if I want, but I don’t really choose to do so.”

God we really are living in the dumbest timeline.
How Trump supporters can continue to ignore the abuses this guy does every day still astonishes me.
But the message is clear. If you lie to congress, obstruct justice, or perform violence on Trumps behalf, you will be protected and pardoned if needed.
However, if you dare to you say mean things about Trump and don’t swear fealty to him, he will use the full force of the government to come after you.
What’s hilarious is that scumbag Comey took unethical actions to help pedo king get elected. Trump never forgets to punish his little cuck cult
Just like Trump ordered
He is a prove liar, already. 4 scathing IG reports in print. He also is an admitted leaker. I hope this is the first of MANY indictments.
As a tree hugging Liberal, I want to send him thoughts and prayers.
Well I mean, they rigged it.
Release the Trumpstein Files!
Hopefully Clapper is next given he lied about spying on U.S. citizens
Let the American 🇺🇸 people believe a lie. Tried to throw someone, an American President into prison on a lie. Shame
