Trump pushed to prosecute Comey, but his own actions could undermine the case
Published: 9/26/2025

President Trump's push to prosecute James Comey for allegedly making false statements to Congress and obstructing an investigation may face challenges due to Trump's public comments and pressure on the justice department. The indictment of the former FBI Director, who Trump has long criticized, is considered by some as rushed and lacking essential details. To successfully convict Comey, prosecutors need solid evidence proving he knowingly lied to Congress, a task that may be complicated by Trump's involvement and public attacks. Despite the obstacles, legal experts suggest that winning a conviction is possible if corroborating evidence supports the allegations against Comey.
