BREAKING NEWS: Former FBI Director James Comey Expected To Be Indicted In The Next Couple Of Days

Posted For: Rotorblade 

Former FBI Director James Comey is reportedly on the verge of being indicted on federal charges in Virginia, according to multiple news outlets.

MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian first reported that prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia are preparing charges, citing three people familiar with the matter. While the full scope of the indictment remains unclear, sources suggest it may include allegations that Comey lied to Congress during a September 30, 2020 hearing about whether he authorized the leak of sensitive information. The five-year statute of limitations on that potential charge expires next Tuesday.

CNN confirmed that federal prosecutors are weighing perjury charges, with a decision expected soon. The investigation centers on Comey’s testimony regarding his handling of the FBI’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Prosecutors must act quickly, as the legal deadline to file charges is approaching.

The move follows the recent resignation of a senior prosecutor who had opposed bringing charges against Comey. For years, Comey has been a frequent target of President Donald Trump, who has accused him of being part of the so-called “deep state.”https://

If charges are filed and a grand jury approves an indictment, it would mark the first time in U.S. history that a former FBI director faces criminal indictment — and one of the most high-profile cases of Trump’s second term.

Comey has not been charged and maintains he has always told the truth under oath. His attorney has not commented on the latest developments.
