The media reported on the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.

Former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) James Comey has been charged with perjury and obstruction of justice. On September 26, ABC News reported this, citing a statement from the U.S. Attorney's office.

"In a statement released by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, it says that if convicted, Komi faces up to five years in prison," the publication says.

It is clarified that the charges against the former FBI director were brought after the American leader Donald Trump dismissed Eric Siebert, the federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia, who questioned the need to open a case against Comey.
