James Comey, who was indicted for obstructing a parliamentary investigation and making false statements to Congress, claims that his trial is politically motivated and fueled by the president's resentment. His lawyer argued that the charges are driven by revenge, noting that Trump ordered the Department of Justice to prosecute him due to his criticisms.
Comey was fired from his position as FBI director in 2017, during the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 elections, and he is now the first individual to be indicted following Trump's return to power. This situation has been amplified by the public pressure exerted by Trump on prosecutors to criminally pursue Comey.
