Staffers under Attorney General Pam Bondi have branded the indictment of former FBI director James Comey one of the “worst abuses” in the Justice Department’s history, according to a report.
Comey, who led the FBI from 2013 until 2017 when President Donald Trump fired him, is accused of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding in September 2020, according to Thursday’s indictment. He’s denied any wrongdoing. If convicted, he could face up to five years behind bars.
