Ex-FBI Director James Comey May Face Indictment for Perjury Charges

Former FBI Director James Comey may be on the verge of being indicted by a grand jury for allegedly making false statements during his 2020 Congressional testimony. Prosecutors have just days to make a final decision, following Trump’s firing of US Attorney Erik Siebert, who had been overseeing the case. If charges are brought and approved by the grand jury next week, it would be one of the most high-profile indictments of a political figure during President Donald Trump’s term. Despite maintaining his innocence, Comey is under scrutiny for his handling of investigations, including those related to Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
