Comey indicted for alleged false statements, obstruction of congressional proceeding | 25 Sept 2025 | Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a grand jury on two counts, alleged false statements within jurisdiction of the legislative branch and obstruction of congressional proceeding, Fox News Digital has learned. Comey will reportedly turn himself in on Friday and his arraignment is set for 10 a.m. on Oct. 9, in Alexandria Courtroom 600 before District Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff. Fox News Digital exclusively reported in July that Comey was under criminal investigation by the FBI. The probe into Comey centered on whether he lied to Congress during his Sept. 30, 2020, testimony about his handling of the original Trump-Russia probe at the FBI, known inside the bureau as “Crossfire Hurricane.” FBI Director Kash Patel took to X to say, “Today, your FBI took another step in its promise of full accountability.”
