Fox News is reporting Thursday evening that former FBI director James Comey has now been indicted by a grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia on two counts.
The actual indictment has not yet been released to the public. It was filed just ahead of the 5-year statute of limitations deadline.
Comey, 64, served as FBI Director from September 2013 until May 2017, when he was fired by President Donald Trump.

Fox News reported earlier on Thursday:
Federal prosecutors preparing to seek an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress have just days left before the statute of limitations expires — one of several hurdles the Justice Department faces in pursuing its case against Comey.
The case against Comey, at least for now, centers on the remarks he made during his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee in a Sept. 30, 2020, hearing focused on the origins of the so-called “Crossfire Hurricane” probe.
Just as Fox News was reporting the breaking news on live television, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X, without naming Comey, “No one is above the law. Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.”

FBI Director Kash Patel announced:
Today, your FBI took another step in its promise of full accountability. For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust. Every day, we continue the fight to earn that trust back, and under my leadership, this FBI will confront the problem head-on.
Nowhere was this politicization of law enforcement more blatant than during the Russiagate hoax, a disgraceful chapter in history we continue to investigate and expose.
Everyone, especially those in positions of power, will be held to account – no matter their perch. No one is above the law.
