Trial Balloon · Ep. 195: Shake Up

James Comey Expected to Be Indicted Soon

September 24, 2025 · 4:26 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the coming days, MSNBC reports.

“The full extent of the charges being prepared against Comey is unclear, but the sources believe that at least one element of the indictment — if it goes forward — will accuse him of lying to Congress during his testimony on September 30, 2020 about whether he authorized a leak of information.”

CNN: “If a federal grand jury were to approve the case by next week, it would mark one of the highest-profile indictments of a political figure during President Donald Trump’s second term in office — and against one of the longtime figures whom Trump and his political allies detest the most from what they call the ‘deep state’ of the federal government.”
