But sources tell CNN that Attorney General Pam Bondi and top prosecutors have reservations about indicting the former FBI director, who is under investigation for possibly lying to Congress in 2020."
"POLANTZ: Kasie, a decision would have to be made not just by the Justice Department, but by the grand jury as well, the secret grand jury sitting in one of those federal courtrooms in the Eastern District of Virginia on whether Jim Comey, whether there's probable cause to charge him with perjury for lying to Congress five years ago.

Pam Bondi and senior prosecutors are expressing reservations about bringing charges against former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress in 2020. The statute of limitations on potential perjury charges expires today, creating an urgent timeline for any indictment.
