"COOPER: Well, tonight's charges came even as sources were telling us that Attorney General Bondi and other federal prosecutors had concerns about the case. If so, the Attorney General, at least now seems on board. She posted about it online, quoting, No one is above the law. Today's indictment reflects the Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case."
"A short time later, the President weighed in, the post reads, Justice in America, one of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, the former corrupt head of the FBI. Today, he was indicted by a grand jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts. He's been so bad for our country for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our nation, Make America Great Again."
President Donald Trump publicly pressured Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue perceived enemies, including former FBI Director James Comey, through a Truth Social post and remarks to reporters. A grand jury returned an indictment charging Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James with felony counts. Comey pledged to fight the charges in court. Legal observers argue that Trump's explicit campaign to have Comey prosecuted could support a malicious prosecution defense. Bondi posted that no one is above the law and that the Department of Justice would follow the facts. A televised supercut compiled years of Trump's attacks on Comey.
