Trump cheers as Comey faces charges in dirty feud
President Donald Trump celebrated former FBI Director James Comey's indictment Thursday while demanding additional prosecutions of political adversaries.

Federal prosecutors charged Comey with making false statements and obstructing justice during his Russia investigation of Trump's 2016 campaign. The former FBI chief could receive five years imprisonment if convicted by an inexperienced prosecutor recently appointed by Trump. Critics questioned the case's legitimacy...
