The indictment of former FBI Director James Comey made public on Thursday is likely to put on display, yet again, the blockbuster political discourse around the FBI investigations in 2016 that affected the presidential election.

Central to the case: Leaks to media outlets that Comey was asked about in 2017 and 2020 congressional testimony.

Comey, the long-time nemesis of Donald Trump from the early days of Trump’s first term, has been criminally charged with two felonies, both related to a lie he allegedly told Congress in 2020.
Though the attorney general and even prosecutors on the case had reservations about its strength, acting US Attorney Lindsey Halligan appointed by the president over the weekend after a previous US attorney left due to disagreements over charging Trump’s political opponents presented the charges to a close grand jury meeting in Alexandria, Virginia, on Thursday afternoon.
In the grand jury room, 14 of at most 23 grand jurors decided prosecutors had probable cause to indict Comey, subsequent court proceedings on Thursday revealed. Yet one charge prosecutors had wanted against Comey was rejected by the grand jury.
