Former FBI Director James Comey may be indicted for allegedly lying to Congress about 2016 election FBI actions, as the statute of limitations nears.

Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in Virginia’s Eastern District by the end of the week on charges of lying to Congress, with the case centered on his 2020 testimony about FBI actions during the 2016 election. The move comes as the five-year statute of limitations for perjury nears expiration, and the investigation has drawn political attention after President Trump replaced the prior U.S. Attorney with Lindsey Halligan, a former White House aide with no prosecutorial experience. While the Justice Department has not confirmed the indictment, sources say prosecutors are reviewing whether Comey made false statements under oath, particularly regarding media leaks. The case has raised concerns about political influence on federal prosecutions, especially after Trump publicly pressured for charges against Comey and other political figures. No official charges have been filed, and Comey’s legal team has not commented.
