Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two charges related to lying to Congress during his 2020 testimony concerning the leak of classified information. The charges allege that Comey made false statements and obstructed justice. President Trump has long criticized Comey, who maintains his innocence. If convicted, Comey could face up to five years in prison. The case is seen as a high-profile prosecution during Trump's presidency, with legal experts noting the challenge of proving intentional deception in court.
