For the third time, the Trump administration has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on criminal charges.
The new charges allege Comey knowingly communicated information related to national defense to a person not entitled to receive it. He also is charged with conspiring with others to violate the law against sharing such information. Here’s more from The New York Post.
L. Louise Lucas, a leading Democratic official in the state of Virginia, has been indicted on multiple charges, mostly relating to a $5 million marijuana ring she supposedly ran. Lucas served as the Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore after the party won a majority of Senate seats in 2019.
But the U.S. Department of Justice says Lucas was a crook who sought to exploit her position for personal gain. It’s charged that she ran a pot selling ring, using her political position to protect the ring from criminal prosecution or investigation. Charges she faces include bribery, racketeering and money laundering. Several individuals surrounding her, including family members, also were charged.
βThe charges listed in the indictment reflect the alleged behavior of a public servant who put her own financial interests before the people she was elected to serve,β Attorney General Todd Blanche said. βWhether you are a Democrat or a Republican, an elected official or an everyday citizen, nobody is above the law.β
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger questioned the timing of the charges, saying they “erode public confidence” in the U.S. Department of Justice. Here’s more from Braden Langley.
