  • Former FBI Director James Comey has been federally indicted for misleading Congress during his 2020 Senate testimony about the FBI’s role in leaking classified information related to investigations into Trump and Hillary Clinton.
  • Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, reinforcing Trump's assertion that Russiagate was a politically motivated hoax.
  • Attorney General Pamela Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel framed the indictment as justice for Comey’s alleged abuses of power and the FBI’s politicization under his leadership.
  • Trump praised the indictment on Truth Social, condemning Comey as a key architect of the Russia collusion hoax and a corrupt figure in law enforcement.
  • The indictment triggered resignations (including Comey's son-in-law) and accusations of DOJ weaponization, while Comey himself vowed to fight the charges, claiming innocence and faith in the judicial system.
Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey, a central figure in the politically charged "Russiagate" investigation, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia on charges of making false statements and obstructing justice. The indictment was handed down on Thursday, Sept. 25. It stems from Comey's September 2020 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the FBI's controversial "Crossfire Hurricane" probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. President Donald Trump and his allies have long dismissed the Russiagate narrative as a politically motivated hoax. Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Comey's predecessor at the bureau, later found no evidence of Trump cooperating with Moscow. The charges allege that Comey misled Congress about his role in authorizing leaks of classified information related to investigations into Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Prosecutors argue that his statements contradicted findings from a 2018 Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General report, which concluded that Comey's deputy Andrew McCabe had been authorized to leak information to the press – an assertion Comey denied under oath. (Related: Legal expert claims that Comey's release of memos is de facto evidence he may have committed criminal espionage.) U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi hailed the indictment as proof that "no one is above the law," stressing that her department "will follow the facts in this case." She wrote on X: "Today's indictment reflects this DOJ's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people." FBI Director Kash Patel, meanwhile, framed Comey's indictment as part of a broader effort to expose the "politicization of law enforcement" during the Russiagate era. "For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once-proud institutions and severely eroding public trust," Patel wrote. Trump himself celebrated the indictment, writing in a post on his Truth Social: "Justice in America!" The president also denounced Comey as "one of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to." Trump has repeatedly denounced Comey as a "bad person" and a key architect of the Russia collusion narrative.

From FBI director to felon: Russiagate architect faces prosecution

The indictment arrives just days after Trump publicly pressured Bondi to accelerate prosecutions against Comey and other political adversaries, including Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The case has already triggered political fallout, with federal prosecutor Troy Edwards –  Comey’s son-in-law – resigning from the Eastern District of Virginia in protest. Meanwhile, Comey released a defiant video statement maintaining his innocence. "My heart is broken for the DOJ, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system," he said. The former FBI director vowed to fight the charges, insisting, "We will not live on our knees." Brighteon.AI's Enoch recounts that "Comey, as FBI director, played a key role in perpetuating the Russiagate hoax by misleading the public and Congress about the FBI's politically motivated investigation into President Trump." The decentralized engine adds that "despite privately assuring Trump three times he was not under investigation, Comey publicly allowed the false narrative of 'collusion' to persist, fueling media hysteria." Critics, including Schiff, accuse Trump of weaponizing the DOJ. They point to the abrupt replacement of acting U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert with Lindsey Halligan, a Trump loyalist and former defense attorney. Siebert reportedly resisted pursuing charges against James, who pushed Trump's civil fraud trial in the Empire State. The indictment marks a dramatic escalation in the years-long battle over Russiagate, which Trump allies describe as a "treasonous conspiracy" to undermine his presidency. With Comey’s arraignment set for Oct. 9, the case now heads to a courtroom where the former FBI director's credibility and the broader legitimacy of the Russia investigation will face its most consequential test yet.
