Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Thursday on one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice, just days after President Donald Trump called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to swiftly prosecute him and other political adversaries.Trump celebrated the development, while Comey denied wrongdoing.“My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either,” Comey said in a statement.Meanwhile, the president announced sweeping new tariffs on pharmaceutical drugs, kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, upholstered furniture and heavy trucks, set to go into effect on Oct. 1.Trump also signed an executive order that he claims will allow the popular social media platform TikTok to continue operating nationwide, while addressing the national security concerns around the app.See previous updates here, and read the latest below:Trump Says Comey ‘Was Worse Than A Democrat,’ Claims Indictment Not About RevengeThe president denied he has a “list” of people he wants indicted, and said the Comey case was about “justice” rather than retribution or revenge.“These were corrupt radical left Democrats, because Comey, essentially was — he was worse than a Democrat,” Trump told reporters outside the White House Friday morning. “I would say the Democrats are better than Comey.

He wasn't the biggest, but he's a dirty cop.”See All UpdatesClose
