🚨 WATCH: This LIE James Comey told to Congress on September 30, 2020 is likely the reason Comey was invited today
Comey said he had never authorized anyone anyone within the FBI to be an "anonymous source" about the Trump Russia investigation

Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Thursday on two counts of false statement and obstruction, days after President Trump urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute him. DOJ officials said the charges stem from 2020 testimony, with Bondi stressing accountability for “those who abuse positions of power.”
Critics warn the move reflects Trump’s pressure on the Justice Department, as career prosecutors had opposed an indictment. Comey, who led the FBI’s Russia probe before his 2017 firing, has long been a vocal Trump critic. The case marks an extraordinary escalation in Trump’s second term, raising fresh concerns about political prosecutions.
