James Comey, former director of the FBI, pleaded not guilty to charges of providing false statements and obstructing Congress proceedings. The charges relate to a hearing from 2020, and Comey faces up to five years in prison. His lawyers contest the legality of the case, claiming that the prosecution is politically motivated by President Donald Trump. The trial is scheduled for January 5, 2026, with Comey stating that he has confidence in the fairness of the judicial system.
