According to a New York Post report, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice.
From The New York Post:
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.
The former top lawman faces up to five years in prison if convicted of both counts.
The indictment was handed up days before the expiration of the five-year statute of limitations to charge Comey in connection with his Sept. 30, 2020, testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“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.”

“The charges as alleged in this case represent a breach of the public trust at an extraordinary level,” added Lindsey Halligan, US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “The balance of power is a bedrock principal [sic] of our democracy, and it relies upon accountability and a forthright presentation of facts from executive leadership to congressional oversight. Any intent to avoid, evade, prevent, or obstruct compliance is a violation of professional responsibility and, most importantly, the law.”
