James Comey, the former FBI director, indicted last night after a very convoluted process. We'll get into that. Because President Trump had literally admitted that he wanted to call the play and have this person indicted regardless of doubts and evidence problems within his own DOJ.Comey is now speaking out. When this news first broke about this within this hour last night, about 24 hours ago, we had just gotten the indictment, just gotten that news. We now have a statement from James Comey which denies any ...

York. We begin today with the message of defiance from the former director of the FBI whose indictment last night marks a radical turn, a literal hinge point in which our country ceased adhering to one of the central tenants of life in a democracy. So begins an ugly new chapter in which an unpopular ruler purges his own political party of prosecutors until he arrives at the weakest link in the chain. That link willing to do what two Republican prosecutors in good standing with MAGA refused to do over a seri ...

Let's have a trial. Keep the faith. Claire McKascal, as we've been saying all week, whether it's Jimmy Kemmel or whether it's whether it's James Comey now, it seems Donald Trump uh is just insistent on turning his political enemies into martyrs and heroes. And in this case, he has brought a case. He's forced uh his justice department to bring a case. and has laid out all the evidence as to why any judge will likely dismiss it.

Following today's indictment of former FBI Director James Comey by Donald Trump's Justice Department, Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia put out this statement. I've had my differences with James Comey in the past, but I can spot trumped up charges a mile away. Trump said he'd go after him, then fired a superb, ethical prosecutor when he refused to bring frivolous charges against those whom Trump perceived to be his enemies.Now he has installed yet another one of his personal lawyers as the interim US ...

Sources tell MSNBC that the grand jury rejected a third count, which is unknown at this point, but we will effort to get you that information. Donald Trump's Justice Department had been rushing to indict Comey before Tuesday because that's when the statute of limitations ...

Well, we believe the US attorney is pressing forward with this case and may be presenting to a grand jury as soon as today. And we're of course working to learn more. And this is coming after the developments last night where we learned that career prosecutors inside the office presented a memo uh to Lindseay Halligan, the newly installed US attorney, recommending that she not bring charges because they said that not only don't they believe that the office could win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt in ...
