Part 10/14:
On the legal front, the Department of Justice is contemplating indicting former FBI Director James Comey for perjury linked to his congressional testimony five years ago concerning the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The urgency is driven by the statute of limitations, which expires next Wednesday, making this a time-sensitive matter.
Comey’s critics accuse him of leaking memos and mishandling sensitive information, with some observers considering the case politically motivated. Trump weighed in, characterizing Comey as a "sick person" who did "terrible things," while legal analysts highlight the difficulties prosecutors face in proving perjury, especially given the complexities of Cold War-era investigations and the recent revelations about Comey’s leaks.
