James Comey, former FBI director, speaks at a book event in New York City in May 2025. He was arraigned on federal charges on Wednesday.

The former FBI director, who has long been one of President Trump's most vocal critics, was indicted last month on two counts stemming from his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2020.
