A federal grand jury in the US state of Virginia has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two charges related to his testimony before Congress.
Comey, who has long been criticized by US President Donald Trump, is accused of lying to Congress during his testimony in September 2020 regarding whether he had authorized the leak of classified information to the media.
Responding to the indictment, Mr Comey declared himself innocent and said he had "great faith in the federal judicial system".
The lawsuit comes days after Trump called on the nation's top law enforcement official, Attorney General Pam Bondi, to more aggressively investigate his political opponents, including Comey.
The investigation is being led by Lindsey Halligan, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who was previously Trump's personal attorney and assumed her new role on Monday.
The court hearing against Comey, where the charges are formally read to a defendant in court, is set for the morning of October 9 in Alexandria, Virginia, at 10:00 local time (14:00 GMT), the BBC's American partner CBS reports.
Bondi said in a statement that the indictment "reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding accountable those who abuse positions of power to defraud the American people."
Comey has been indicted on one count of making false statements and another of obstructing justice.
The first charge relates to Mr. Comey's statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee that he had not "authorized anyone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports" regarding his conversations with Trump about an FBI investigation into whether Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
The second charge alleges that Mr. Comey "corruptly attempted to influence, obstruct, and hinder" the Senate Judiciary Committee's investigation by making false statements to it.
The Justice Department asked the grand jury to consider three charges against Comey, but it could only agree that two of them were supported by sufficient evidence to be tried in court.
The third charge was another charge of making false statements.
A grand jury is a group of citizens assembled by a prosecutor to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to bring charges. In legal terms, it determines whether there is probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed.
Comey is the first former FBI director to be charged with a crime, and he maintains that he did not lie under oath.
If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison.
Një avokat i Comey, Patrick Fitzgerald, lëshoi ??një urdhër të shkurtër qëndrimi duke thënë se klienti i tij i mohoi akuzat, duke shtuar: "Ne mezi presim ta shfajësojmë atë në sallën e gjyqit".
Comey tha në një deklaratë të veçantë video: “Unë dhe familja ime e kemi ditur prej vitesh se ka kosto për t’i bërë ballë Donald Trumpit.”
"Ne nuk do të jetojmë në gjunjë, dhe as ju nuk duhet të jetoni," vazhdoi ai, duke shtuar: "Dhe, unë jam i pafajshëm. Pra, le të bëjmë një gjyq."
Akuzat u ngritën pak para se afati pesëvjeçar i parashkrimit të skadonte të martën.
Çështja i ishte dorëzuar së fundmi një prokurori të ri pasi Erik Seibert, prokurori i parë amerikan që mbikëqyrte çështjen, u shkarkua nga administrata Trump. Ai u zëvendësua nga Halligan.
Sipas dokumenteve të akuzës, Comey e bëri deklaratën e tij të supozuar të rreme para Komitetit Gjyqësor të Senatit "me dashje dhe me vetëdije", pasi Comey i kishte udhëzuar një personi të paidentifikuar "të shërbente si burim anonim në raportet e lajmeve në lidhje me një hetim të FBI-së".
Kjo do të thotë që Comey "u përpoq në mënyrë korruptive të ndikonte, të pengonte dhe të pengonte ushtrimin e duhur dhe të duhur të fuqisë së hetimit" të komisionit rreth datës 30 shtator 2020, thuhet në dokument.
Në atë seancë dëgjimore në Kongres në vitin 2020, zoti Comey riafirmoi dëshminë e tij të vitit 2017 se ai nuk zbuloi ose miratoi zbulimin e informacionit në lidhje me hetimet e FBI-së as ndaj Trump dhe as ndaj rivales së tij presidenciale të vitit 2016, Hillary Clinton.
Një seri memorandumesh nga Comey që detajojnë bisedat e tij me Trump u zbuluan për median në vitin 2017.
Në to, Comey shkroi se Trump kishte sugjeruar që ai të hiqte dorë nga një hetim mbi kontaktin e këshilltarit të atëhershëm të sigurisë kombëtare Michael Flynn me Rusinë.
Rasti konsiderohet si paditë më të profilit të lartë ndaj një figure publike gjatë mandatit të dytë të Trump.
Trump kohët e fundit shprehu zhgënjimin e tij për faktin se ndjekjet penale të kritikëve të tij publikë, si z. Comey, senatori Adam Schiff dhe Prokurorja e Përgjithshme e Nju Jorkut, Leticia James, po zgjasin kaq shumë.
"Nuk mund të vonohemi më, kjo po na shkatërron reputacionin dhe besueshmërinë. Më kanë shkarkuar dy herë dhe më kanë paditur (5 herë!), PËR ASGJË. DREJTËSIA DUHET TË VENDOSET, TANI!!!" tha Trump në Truth Social javën e kaluar.
Pasi u ngritën akuzat, Trump e quajti zotin Comey "një nga qeniet njerëzore më të këqija me të cilat ky vend është ekspozuar ndonjëherë".
"Ai ka qenë kaq i keq për vendin tonë, për kaq kohë, dhe tani është në fillim të mbajtjes përgjegjëse për krimet e tij kundër kombit tonë. BËJENI AMERIKËN TË MADHE PËRSËRI!"
I pyetur për zotin Comey disa orë para se të zbulohej aktakuza, Trump e quajti atë një "person të keq", por tha se nuk kishte njohuri të avancuara për ndjekjen penale të tij.
Laurie Levenson, a former federal prosecutor and law professor at Loyola Marymount University, said it will be a very challenging case to prosecute.
"It's often the defendant's word against someone else's word and you'll have to look at the credibility of both," she tells BBC News.
"And even if James Comey got things wrong, that doesn't mean he knowingly or intentionally lied to Congress. So proving that will be the crux of the matter."
Levenson also said that this prosecution and Trump's public pressure to move forward with it suggest that the traditional wall between the White House and the US Justice Department had "collapsed with this matter"./ CNA, translated by BBC
