US EditionSen. Chuck Schumer says he has 'no faith' in Trump's judicial system after Comey indictment
Comey faces charges of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice just before the statute of limitations expired, amid claims of political motivation from Democrats.
- On Thursday, a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, indicted James B. Comey, former FBI Director, for lying to Congress and obstruction, making him the first former FBI director indicted for a felony.

- Democrats reacted by denouncing the move as politically motivated, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressing no faith in President Donald Trump's judicial system, while House Speaker Mike Johnson and Vice President JD Vance defended the prosecutions as law-driven.
- The indictment followed pressure from President Donald Trump on the Justice Department as he pushed Attorney General Pam Bondi to act and celebrated the charge last week on Truth Social post.
