Bondi Issues New Statement After James Comey Indictment
Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News’ “Hannity” on Friday that the “weaponization” of the legal system has “ended” following the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.
The Justice Department announced Thursday that Comey faces one count of making a false statement within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch and one count of obstruction of a congressional investigation.
Fox host Sean Hannity, while reviewing the legal hurdles former President Donald Trump has faced, said he was “nervous for the country.”
“You shouldn’t be nervous any longer because Donald Trump is in office, and the weaponization has ended. We’ve made that very clear,” Bondi said.
“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,” she continued.
“We will investigate you, and we will end the weaponization,” Bondi added. “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.”
Since Trump’s first term, the former president has faced legal battles, from the Russia collusion probe to the FBI’s raid on his Florida home in 2022. Trump has repeatedly said Democrats used the legal system to target him.
The indictment of Comey followed reports that the Justice Department planned to ask a grand jury to bring charges related to his testimony before Congress in September 2020.
The indictment says Comey falsely told lawmakers he “did not authorize someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source.”
“THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.”

Tonight, Hannity spent his entire monologue running through the entire Grand Conspiracy. From the Steel Dossier to the raid at Mar-a-Lago, Hannity set the narrative for Pam Bondi to come on and promise that accountability is coming.

In 2020 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Comey said he had not been told about problems with the Steele dossier and claimed he could not recall details from a 2016 briefing about its political bias.
In July, reports said current FBI Director Kash Patel uncovered “burn bags” of documents tied to discrediting the Russia investigation. One item reportedly included a classified annex to special counsel John Durham’s final report.
The Justice Department, meanwhile, is investigating whether senior FBI officials mishandled classified materials tied to the bureau’s Russia probe during the waning months of then-President Obama’s second term.
A source confirmed to CBS News that the documents were discovered inside “burn bags” at FBI headquarters, containers usually reserved for destroying sensitive files. The materials are connected to Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s 2016 investigation into possible ties between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia.
FBI Director Kash Patel said last month that thousands of Russia-related files were uncovered in the bags, which he claimed had been hidden.
Patel later wrote on X, “We just uncovered burn bags/room filled with hidden Russia Gate files.”
The FBI opened Crossfire Hurricane during the 2016 campaign and continued it into Trump’s first term. Former Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller concluded Russia interfered in the election with the goal of helping Trump. Mueller did not accuse Trump or his aides of criminal coordination with Moscow.
A 2017 intelligence community report also found Russia sought to influence the election and developed a preference for Trump. Those findings have long been challenged by Trump and his allies, who have called the probe a hoax and a witch hunt.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents last month that she said undercut the 2017 report.
Gabbard accused Obama-era officials of a “treasonous conspiracy” and a “years-long coup” against Trump. She said she would refer the matter to the Justice Department for possible charges.
