Former FBI Director James Comey<\/a> has declared himself “not afraid” of President Donald Trump’s Justice Department after being indicted Thursday for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way,” Comey, who denies the allegations, said in an Instagram video. “We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant, and she’s right.”<\/p>\n

“But I’m not afraid,” Comey added.<\/p>\n

COMEY INDICTED FOR ALLEGED FALSE STATEMENTS, OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDING<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Comey was indicted by a grand jury following a probe centered on whether he lied to Congress during his Sept. 30, 2020, testimony about his handling of the original Trump\u2013Russia investigation at the FBI, known inside the bureau as “Crossfire Hurricane.” The indictment also alleges Comey made a false statement when he testified that he did not authorize someone at the FBI<\/a> to be an anonymous source. According to the indictment, that statement was false.<\/p>\n

“My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system,” Comey continued. “I’m innocent. So let’s have a trial and keep the faith.”<\/p>\n

Patrick J. Fitzgerald will represent Comey in the case and said his client denies the charges.<\/p>\n

“Jim Comey denies the charges filed today in their entirety,” Fitzgerald said in a statement. “We look forward to vindicating him in the courtroom.”<\/p>\n

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SEEKS TO INDICT FORMER FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY FOR ALLEGEDLY LYING TO CONGRESS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fitzgerald previously served as special counsel in the Valerie Plame CIA leak probe and as U.S. attorney in Chicago, where he prosecuted former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted in a corruption scandal in 2011.<\/p>\n

The indictment marks a stunning legal turn for the man who once led the bureau through the Hillary Clinton email controversy and Russia investigation.<\/a><\/p>\n

Comey will reportedly turn himself in on Friday, and his arraignment is set for 10 a.m. on Oct. 9 before District Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff, a judge appointed by former President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

President Trump took to Truth Social Friday to celebrate the indictment and declared Comey a “dirty copy.”<\/p>\n

“Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can\u2019t imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED!” Trump wrote. “It is not a complex lie, it\u2019s a very simple, but IMPORTANT one. There is no way he can explain his way out of it.”<\/p>\n

Trump said Comey got “unexpectedly caught” but is off to a good start with the case being assigned to a Biden-appointed judge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He knew exactly what he was saying, and that it was a very serious and far-reaching lie for which a very big price must be paid!” Trump wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The indictment alleges that Comey obstructed a congressional investigation into the disclosure of sensitive information in violation of 18 USC 1505.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital also exclusively reported that former CIA Director John Brennan is under criminal investigation related to the Trump\u2013Russia probe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Under federal law, prosecutors have five years to bring a charge, with the five-year<\/u><\/a> mark occurring Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The case is being handled by the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
