Former FBI director James Comey made his first public statement since he was charged by the great federal jury in Virginia on Thursday.
Comey said he was innocent. The former FBI director was charged for making a false statement linked to his testimony in September 2020 to the Senate judicial committee. He was also charged with a charge of obstruction of justice.
The former FBI director is the first senior government official, who investigated Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016 for possible links with Russia, to cope with federal accusations.
“We will not live on your knees and you should not either,” said the former FBI director in an Instagram video.

President Donald Trump responded to Comey’s indictment on social verification, exclaiming “Justice in America!”
“One of the worst human beings to which this country has ever been exposed is James Comey, the former corrupt FBI chief,” wrote the president. “Today, he was charged by a large jury on two counts for various illegal and illegal acts. It has been so bad for our country, for so long, and has now been at the start of being held responsible for its crimes against our nation. ”
