Former FBI Director Comey Indicted by Trump DOJ

In October 2025, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by the Trump Justice Department on charges of allegedly lying to Congress about media contacts during his oversight of the Russia investigation. Legal experts and critics, including Comey’s defense team, called the charges selective and retaliatory, pointing to President Trump’s repeated public calls for prosecution of perceived political enemies. The highly publicized indictment fueled accusations that the Justice Department was being used as a tool for political retribution.
