'Monumental moment': CNN reporter stunned as Trump DOJ secures indictment of James Comey

CNN reporter Katelyn Polantz was stunned on Thursday after learning that former FBI Director James Comey had been indicted by a grand jury.

Comey was indicted on two charges on Thursday: obstruction of justice and lying to Congress, according to CNN. The move came just a few days after Trump posted on Truth Social that Attorney General Pam Bondi and her Justice Department needed to do more to prosecute Trump's political enemies, like Comey.

Polantz read a statement from Bondi about the indictment while on air with Jake Tapper on "The Lead" Thursday afternoon.

"Today's indictment reflects the Justice Department's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case," Bondi's statement reads.

Polantz expressed shock and concern after reporting on the indictment.

Tapper asked if the indictment was publicly available yet.

"We do not have those publicly available yet, but this is a monumental moment in the second presidency of Donald Trump, after the first presidency was clouded by much of Donald Trump's ire towards James Comey, the former FBI director, for his role in the FBI investigation and the Justice Department investigation of the trump campaign and the 2016 Russia investigation," Polantz said.
