President Donald Trump reacted in a post on Truth Social, following the news that former FBI director James Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday evening.
The Justice Department announced in a press release:
Today, a federal grand jury has charged former FBI Director James Comey with serious crimes related to the disclosure of sensitive information.
The indictment alleges that Comey obstructed a congressional investigation into the disclosure of sensitive information in violation of 18 USC 1505.
The indictment also alleges that Comey made a false statement in violation of 18 USC 1001. Comey stated that he did not authorize someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source. According to the indictment that statement was false.
“No one is above the law,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “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.”
President Trump blasted out the following statement on Truth Social:
“JUSTICE IN AMERICA! One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, the former Corrupt Head of the FBI. Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts.
“He has been so bad for our Country, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our Nation. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Donald Trump Jr. also reacted, writing on X, “Finally, we have an Attorney General who believes in equal justice under the law. Great work from AG Bondi and her team!!!!”

“Today, your FBI took another step in its promise of full accountability,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “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.”
Comey, 64, served as FBI Director from September 2013 until May 2017, when he was fired by President Donald Trump.
Comey was blasted by conservatives in May, after he posted a photo of an ominous message interpreted to be a threat against President Trump’s life.
He had posted an image of seashells on a beach, arranged in the shape of the numerals “8647.” The number “86” is commonly used as slang to mean getting rid of something or ejecting someone. Trump is the 47th president of the US.
Many conservatives are now mocking Comey with their own seashell photos:
Look what Grok stumbled on while walking on the beach.https://t.co/GAQ1Q6wv9l pic.twitter.com/0CTaQaNuzT
