Up to date
Donald Trump received what he wished … certainly one of his archenemies, former FBI Director James Comey, is now below federal indictment.
Comey was indicted on 2 counts — making false statements to Congress and obstruction of justice.
Trump has been on the warpath to criminally cost Comey, and the clock was ticking. A choice needed to be made by Tuesday or else the statute of limitations would have run.
Simply final weekend, Trump ranted at Lawyer Common Pam Bondi on Reality Social to safe indictments in opposition to Comey, Senator Adam Schiff and New York Lawyer Common Letitia James. Curiously, he has since deleted that publish, however Bondi clearly received the message.
Bondi simply mentioned, “No one is above the law. Today’s indictment reflects the Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse the positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts of this case.”
The alleged lies and obstruction relate to Comey’s testimony earlier than the Senate Judiciary Committee concerning Trump’s alleged ties to Russia through the 2016 presidential marketing campaign.
Federal prosecutors within the Jap District of Virginia had beforehand suggested the U.S. Lawyer in that space that there was inadequate proof to cost Comey, and the U.S. Lawyer agreed. Trump then went after the U.S. Lawyer — whom he had appointed — and he resigned below stress.
White Home
Certainly one of Trump’s former protection attorneys, Lindsey Halligan, is now in that place. Throughout an Oval Workplace look earlier at present, the President was requested about Comey presumably being indicted … and he unloaded on him.
Comey is now the primary FBI director ever to face federal felony costs.
