The charges came days after Trump publicly complained to Attorney General Pam Bondi that “nothing is being done” about Comey and other of the president’s perceived enemies, who he claimed were “all guilty as hell.”
A senior Justice Department official told NBC News that Comey was charged in a two-count indictment.
Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared to reference Comey’s indictment, without mentioning him by name, as news of the charges broke.

“Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people,” Bondi said. “We will follow the facts in this case.”
