Comey Indicted Again; DOJ Charges Former Fauci Adviser; Soldier Pleads Not Guilty
The Justice Department filed new criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey, marking the second indictment under the Trump administration, though the specific charges were not immediately disclosed. Separately, a former senior adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci was indicted on federal charges alleging concealment of communications related to COVID-19 research. In an unrelated case, U.S. Army soldier Gannon Van Dyke pleaded not guilty to fraud charges alleging he won $400,000 by betting on the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro using insider information.
Progressive outlets such as The Guardian and Deutsche Welle note that Comey is a frequent and prominent critic of President Trump, raising questions about whether the repeated indictments represent politically motivated prosecution of a perceived political opponent.
