WASHINGTON, D.C. – Attorney General Pamela Bondi emphasized the Justice Department’s commitment to accountability following the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on federal charges related to obstruction and false statements.
“No one is above the law,” Bondi said in a prepared statement. “Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.”
Comey is accused of obstructing a congressional investigation and making false statements about authorizing an anonymous source within the FBI, according to the indictment. He is charged under 18 U.S.C. § 1505 and 18 U.S.C. § 1001.
Comey remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
