Former FBI Director, James Comey, has reacted strongly to his recent indictment, firmly declaring that he is innocent of all charges. Comey, who served under former U.S. President Donald Trump, insisted that the allegations are politically motivated and an attempt to tarnish his reputation.

In his statement, Comey directly addressed Trump, saying the former president has been targeting him ever since he refused to compromise the independence of the FBI. He stressed that his work at the bureau was always guided by the law and the Constitution, not personal interests or political pressure.

The former FBI boss added that he is ready to defend himself in court, urging Americans to see through what he described as Trump’s strategy of intimidation. Comey expressed confidence that justice will clear his name, while also warning that using the justice system as a political weapon threatens democracy.
