An FBI agent was disciplined for refusing to participate in plans for the surrender and arrest of former FBI Director James Comey following his indictment. Comey faces charges of giving false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. While an initial surrender plan was reportedly considered and met with an agent's refusal, Comey was ultimately issued a summons to appear in court, avoiding a media spectacle. FBI Director Kash Patel commented on the importance of following chain of command.
