www.theguardian.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Several outlets reported that James Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia on charges related to his 2020 Senate testimony, including counts of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding. These stories appeared in The Guardian, The New York Times, CNN, and NPR, all dated September 25, 2025.[1][2][3][4]
-
The indictments followed sustained public pressure from then-President Donald Trump on the Department of Justice to pursue charges against Comey, with DOJ officials and prosecutors publicly discussing the case and potential penalties.[3][1]
-
Subsequent coverage in late 2025 and into 2026 continued to track related developments, including court appearances and any potential further indictments or legal actions tied to Comey, though details varied by outlet.[6][7][8]
Notes:
- Given your location (Miami) and the date you asked (May 2026), there were initial reports in 2025. There were later developments in 2026, including mentions of new indictments in April 2026 in some outlets. Please tell me if you want me to pull the most current updates from a specific news source or provide a brief timeline of the events to date.[8]
