Trump hails Comey indictment in Truth Social post, calls it justice
Former president celebrates James Comey indictment on Truth Social as prosecutors outline next steps in a developing case.
A grand jury indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts, according to reports from outlets that cited the charges in broad terms. The indictment underscores a high-profile legal development that has drawn attention from across the political spectrum, and officials have cautioned that further details are likely to emerge as the case progresses.
Former President Donald Trump reacted to the development with a post on Truth Social, calling it 'JUSTICE IN AMERICA' and describing Comey as 'one of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to.' In the post, Trump asserted that Comey 'has been so bad for our Country, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our Nation.' He also tied his remarks to broader political messaging, inclining toward a campaign-era refrain.
The indictment marks a notable moment in ongoing legal proceedings connected to Comey, a former FBI director who has remained a central figure in national debates about accountability and governance. There was no immediate public comment from Comey or representatives for Trump beyond the Truth Social post. This is a developing story. Check back for more information.
As prosecutors prepare to unveil more specifics about the counts and the factual basis for the charges, analysts expect the case to influence ongoing discussions about the scope of accountability for public officials. Readers should monitor official court filings and established-news outlets for updates as the legal process unfolds.
