MSNBC sources indicate that criminal charges are pending against former FBI Director James Comey within days. The potential allegations center on congressional testimony from September 30, 2020, in which Comey denied authorizing the release of information. Federal prosecutors must act before Tuesday, when the statute of limitations expires on perjury claims. The Eastern District of Virginia will likely file the indictment after dismissing a prosecutor who opposed the case.
Trump terminated Comey in May 2017 after appointing him in 2013. The former director gained prominence during the Clinton email investigation and Russia probe. Comey has written books and continued to criticize Trump since leaving office. His congressional appearances and public statements have maintained his visibility in political discussions.
