Halligan’s first prosecution faces pressure as filing errors fuel doubts about experience and the strength of the Comey case.

"No one is above the law," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on X. "Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people." Comey posted a video message on Instagram after the indictment.

The Justice Department is preparing to seek an indictment as soon as Thursday against former FBI Director James Comey on allegations that he lied to Congress as prosecutors approach a legal deadline for bringing charges.

Comey, in a video posted on Instagram, said: "My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I'm innocent. So, let's have a trial and keep the faith.

No one is above the law.” That was what Attorney General Pam Bondi said this week following the announcement that former FBI Director James Comey had been indicted for making a false statement to Congress and obstruction in a criminal case.

On Friday, Trump described Comey as a “Dirty Cop,” claiming: “Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can’t imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED! It is not a complex lie, it’s a very simple, but IMPORTANT one.”

A key Senate hearing from five years ago is the center of the federal probe into former FBI Director James Comey, sources told ABC News Thursday. At least two exchanges he had with lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee in September of 2020 are being scrutinized, according to sources familiar with the matter.

President Trump implied that the Department of Justice should investigate former FBI Director Christopher Wray over the agency's actions after January 6th. This comes days after the DOJ indicted former FBI Director James Comey.
