1:45Now PlayingFormer FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice — and President Trump applauded that “justice in America” is being served nearly a decade after Russiagate.
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. He is expected to turn himself in Friday, according to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
The case has been assigned to District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, an appointee of President Joe Biden, who is slated to arraign Comey on Oct. 9 at a federal courthouse in Alexandria, Va.
Comey has retained former federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to represent him in the case.
“JUSTICE IN AMERICA! One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, the former Corrupt Head of the FBI,” Trump said on Truth Social.
“Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts. He has been so bad for our Country, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our Nation. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
