Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two felony counts for making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding related to his 2020 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. This marks the first time a former FBI Director has faced such charges. The indictment was brought forward just before the statute of limitations expired. President Trump has hailed the indictment as "JUSTICE IN AMERICA!", while Democrats have criticized it as a politically motivated "malicious prosecution" and an abuse of power by Trump.
