About this episode
The episode covers the DOJ press conference announcing the indictment of James Comey for threatening President Trump.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, US Attorney Ellis Boyle, and FBI Director Kash Patel take the podium in the Eastern District of North Carolina to announce that a grand jury has returned a two count felony indictment against former FBI Director James Comey for threatening the life of President Trump in a May 2025 Instagram post. Each count carries a maximum of ten years in prison. Patel confirms Comey deleted the post and issued an apology after posting, but notes that all of that information was presented to the grand jury. The DOJ emphasizes this is the same standard applied to all threat cases regardless of the defendant's status or title. The press conference closes with pointed questions about intent, free speech, the timeline of the investigation, and whether more charges could follow.
