Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two counts of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice, according to a new report.
CNN reported on-air Thursday that President Donald Trump's Justice Department had secured an indictment from a grand jury against Comey. It is the first time a former FBI director has been indicted, according to CNN legal analyst Ellie Honig.
"These are serious charges," CNN legal reporter Katelyn Polantz said, adding that both charges carry multi-year sentences if Comey is convicted.
Trump has been pursuing charges against Comey for several months. Recently, Trump posted on Truth Social that Attorney General Pam Bondi to do more to prosecute Comey.
