The Justice Department is reportedly preparing to indict former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress, potentially as early as Thursday. This comes close to the five-year statute of limitations and follows President Trump's calls for Comey's prosecution. Prosecutors reportedly expressed concerns about the case in a memo, but the push to indict proceeds despite this. The indictment, if successful, would be the first prosecution of a former senior official related to the Trump-Russia investigation, raising concerns about the Justice Department's independence under Attorney General Pam Bondi.
