"Last month, federal prosecutors issued a two-count indictment against Comey, accusing the longtime government official of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding in relation to his 2020 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The charges emerged after a pointed push from Trump for the prosecution of several of his political foes with the president exerting public pressure on U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on social media."
""Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, 'same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, Leticia??? They're all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done,'" he wrote on Truth Social.
