Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement on the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey:
“The indictment of James Comey is an extremely disturbing development,” said Senator Gillibrand. “President Trump directed his attorney general to pursue legal action against his political adversaries, and the president’s handpicked prosecutor delivered just days later, despite a two-month investigation by career prosecutors finding no probable cause to indict. This is a stunning affront to the rule of law and prosecutorial independence.”
