Authorities in the state of Virginia, USA, have filed an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey for two criminal offenses - giving false testimony to Congress and obstruction of justice. Comey, who served as FBI Director from 2013 to 2017 and was fired by US President Donald Trump in the first year of his previous term, was at the center of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and is considered one of the president's prominent critics. The Department of Justice reexamined his 2020 testimony before the Senate, where he denied ordering leaks of information to the media.
