1.1. Former FBI Director James Comey Indicted in “Constitutional Crisis”

The Department of Justice has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on federal obstruction and perjury charges, a move Democrats quickly labeled a “constitutional crisis” [1]. The indictment, reportedly pursued under pressure from President Trump, is linked to a false statement from 2020 and is seen by critics as a key part of the administration’s push to prosecute political foes [2, 3]. The action has reportedly caused “uproar” within the DOJ, with some staff allegedly fuming over what they consider one of the “‘worst abuses in DOJ history’” [4]. In a video statement, Comey proclaimed his innocence and challenged the prosecution, stating, “Let’s have a trial” [5].

The Department of Justice has initiated a series of high-profile, politically explosive actions. The most significant is the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on charges of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice [1, 2]. President Donald Trump reacted to the news on Truth Social, declaring “JUSTICE IN AMERICA!” [3] and later stated it is his opinion “there will be others” to follow [4].

In the immediate aftermath, Comey’s son-in-law reportedly resigned from his federal prosecutor position [6].
