Bondi Issues New Statement After James Comey Indictment

Attorney General Pam Bondi declared Friday that the era of weaponized justice is “over” after former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on federal charges tied to his handling of the Russia hoax.

The Justice Department announced Comey faces one count of making false statements to Congress and one count of obstructing a congressional investigation. His indictment comes as President Trump’s Justice Department moves to dismantle what Bondi called the “two-tiered system of justice” that plagued the country for years.

Appearing on Hannity, Fox host Sean Hannity reflected on the endless legal hurdles Democrats threw at Trump during his first term — from Crossfire Hurricane to the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid — and said he was “nervous for the country.”

Bondi pushed back: “You shouldn’t be nervous any longer because Donald Trump is in office, and the weaponization has ended. We’ve made that very clear.”

She stressed that accountability will apply across the board.

“Whether you’re a former FBI director, whether you’re a former head of an intel community, whether you are a current state or local elected official, whether you’re a billionaire funding organizations to try to keep Donald Trump out of office. Everything is on the table,” Bondi said.

“We will investigate you, and we will end the weaponization. No longer will there be a two-tier system of justice. We are working hand-in-hand — [FBI] Director [Kash] Patel and I [with] Todd Blanche, with our incredible intel community [Director of National Intelligence] Tulsi Gabbard [and] [CIA Director] John Radcliffe, going non-stop around the clock. People will be held accountable.”

The charges against Comey stem from his September 2020 Senate Judiciary Committee testimony, in which prosecutors say he lied about authorizing FBI officials to act as anonymous media sources. Comey also claimed he had not been briefed on problems with the Steele dossier and could not recall details about its political origins — statements investigators now say were false.

The indictment comes on the heels of new revelations unearthed by FBI Director Kash Patel, who uncovered “burn bags” of hidden documents connected to Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s Trump–Russia probe. Patel revealed that thousands of Russia-related files had been stashed away, including a classified annex to Special Counsel John Durham’s final report.

“We just uncovered burn bags/room filled with hidden Russia Gate files,” Patel wrote on X.

The discovery has raised fresh questions about what Obama-era officials knew and whether evidence was intentionally buried.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has already declassified records she says disprove the 2017 intelligence community report that claimed Russia “developed a preference” for Trump. Gabbard accused former Obama officials of a “treasonous conspiracy” and a “years-long coup” attempt to overturn the will of the American people.

Meanwhile, the Justice Department confirmed it is investigating whether senior FBI officials mishandled classified materials related to the Russia probe during the final months of President Obama’s tenure.

For Trump allies, the Comey indictment represents more than just one man’s fall from power. It is the opening move in a long-overdue reckoning with the intelligence and law enforcement figures who weaponized their offices to try and stop Donald J. Trump — and, by extension, the American people.
