USA v. Comey: Read the indictment against the fired FBI director
Comey is the first FBI director to be hit with federal charges. Read the indictment here.
Fired FBI Director James Comey was indicted Thursday by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia over allegations from the Justice Department that he made false statements to Congress when he denied leaking to the media and for the alleged obstruction of justice, according to court documents obtained by Just the News.
"No one is above the law," Attorney General Pam Bondi said on social media. "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."
“Today, your FBI took another step in its promise of full accountability. For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust. Every day, we continue the fight to earn that trust back, and under my leadership, this FBI will confront the problem head-on,” current FBI Director Kash Patel said on X on Thursday evening. “Nowhere was this politicization of law enforcement more blatant than during the Russiagate hoax, a disgraceful chapter in history we continue to investigate and expose. Everyone, especially those in positions of power, will be held to account — no matter their perch. No one is above the law.”
