Grand jury indicts former FBI Director James Comey

Published September 25, 2025 6:49pm ET



Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury, marking a stunning turn in a yearslong political and legal saga.

A majority on an impaneled grand jury voted to indict the former FBI director on two of three counts sought by prosecutors, one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice, according to documents filed at the federal court located in Alexandria, Virginia. The indictment stems from the former director’s 2020 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee about his role in the bureau’s handling of the Trump-Russia investigation.
