3 Dead in Suspected Hantavirus Outbreak on Cruise Ship in Atlantic Ocean: WHO

A federal grand jury issued an indictment on Sept. 25 against former FBI Director James Comey, accusing him of making a false statement and obstruction in a criminal case.

Comey was indicted in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, the U.S. attorney’s office in the area<a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/federal-grand-jury-indicts-former-fbi-director-false-statements-and-obstruction"> announced</a> on Thursday. Grand jurors rejected one of the counts brought against Comey.

Each charge returned by grand jurors could see a maximum of five years in federal prison for Comey if he’s convicted.

In a statement, Lindsey Halligan, U.S. attorney for the district, said the charges “represent a breach of the public trust at an extraordinary level.”

“The balance of power … relies upon accountability and a forthright presentation of facts from executive leadership to congressional oversight. Any intent to avoid, evade, prevent, or obstruct compliance is a violation of professional responsibility and, most importantly, the law,” Halligan said.

In a <a href="https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/1971345371583611099">post</a> on X referencing the indictment, Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote: “No one is above the law. Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.”

FBI Director Kash Patel echoed the sentiment, writing <a href="https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1971347212811763992">on X</a>: “For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust.”

He said political weaponization was most “blatant … during the Russiagate hoax, a disgraceful chapter in history we continue to investigate and expose.”

“Everyone, especially those in positions of power, will be held to account—no matter their perch,” Patel concluded. “No one is above the law.”

In a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPC1sFFD2iF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">video</a> posted to Instagram, Comey responded to the indictment.

He said he was innocent of the allegations, and told viewers that he is “not afraid.”

“My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I’m innocent,” Comey said. “So let’s have a trial.”

President Donald Trump praised the indictment in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115267513846352215">post</a> on Truth Social.

“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 wrote.

“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.”
<h2>The Charges</h2>
The <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.vaed.582136/gov.uscourts.vaed.582136.1.0_3.pdf">indictment</a> returned by a grand jury on Thursday includes charges of making false statements and obstruction of official proceedings.

The first charge, a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 1001, is related to false statements to government actors. It permits penalties for an individual who “makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation” in a matter under the jurisdiction of any of the three branches of the federal government. In this case, the charge relates to the legislative branch.

The obstruction charge allows federal penalties including fines or up to five years in prison for knowingly misrepresenting, withholding, or otherwise preventing disclosure of information in civil or House investigations.

Both charges stem from Comey’s Sept. 30, 2020, testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The indictment filed by the Justice Department cites Comey’s claim to the panel that he “had not ‘authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports’ regarding an FBI investigation concerning” an unnamed “PERSON 1.”

Several individuals mentioned in the document are named only by number.

The document alleges, “That statement was false, because, as [Comey] then and there knew, he in fact had authorized PERSON 3 to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding an FBI investigation concerning PERSON 1.”

The second count in the indictment alleges that Comey “corruptly [endeavored] to influence, obstruct and impede the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which an investigation was being had before the Senate Judiciary Committee by making false and misleading statements before that committee.”

According to a <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/71459121/3/united-states-v-comey/">document</a> filed in the case, grand jurors rejected another count, which was also based on 18 U.S. Code § 1001.

That count alleged that Comey “falsely [stated] to a U.S. Senator during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that he … did not remember ‘being taught’ of PERSON I’s ‘approval of a plan concerning’ PERSON 2 and the 2016 U.S. Presidential election.”

Comey’s indictment comes after Trump said he fired the former U.S. attorney overseeing the case, Erik Siebert, from the post. Siebert had refused to bring charges against Letitia James, the New York attorney general, for mortgage fraud, citing a lack of evidence.

In a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115239044548033727">post</a> on Truth Social, Trump described Siebert as “a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney ... with a really bad Republican past.”

In the same post, Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-urges-bondi-to-take-action-against-comey-schiff-james-5918153">called</a> on Bondi and other DOJ officials to investigate and prosecute Comey, James, and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).

In the post, addressed to Bondi, Trump alleged that the three are “all guilty ... but nothing is going to be done.”

“We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility,” Trump wrote. “They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

Following Siebert’s resignation, Trump replaced him in the post with Halligan, who Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115239776714791650">described</a> as “a tough, smart, and loyal attorney” who has worked with him for a long time.
