Trump Targets More Officials After Comey Indictment

Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of lying to Congress and obstruction tied to his 2020 testimony, in a prosecution brought by the Department of Justice under President Trump. Trump celebrated the indictment as “justice,” signaled more prosecutions of perceived political foes, and has publicly attacked others including FBI Director Christopher Wray while blaming former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for recommending him. Democrats and civil‑liberties advocates say the White House is weaponizing the Justice Department and warn the actions threaten democratic norms. Supporters and some commentators defended Comey or the prosecution, and media reactions have been sharply divided.
