Vice President J.D. Vance says James Comey’s indictment is legally justified and signals that more prosecutions are likely.
Vice President J.D. Vance has defended the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, insisting it is based on law rather than political retribution.
Speaking on “FOX News Sunday,” Vance rejected Democratic claims that the case is a partisan “hatchet job,” saying, “There will certainly be more indictments coming over the next three and a half years, but we will always let the law drive this.”
President Donald Trump had previously called the Comey indictment “justice, not revenge,” while hinting that others such as Adam Schiff and Letitia James could face charges. Vance argued that the grand jury process proved the case was legitimate, noting it was delivered in Virginia, “not exactly a hotbed of Donald Trump’s political support.”
“To those saying it’s all political… we are not letting politics drive this; we’re letting the requirements of the justice system and the laws drive this,” he said, adding that Comey “lied under oath” and would have “his day in court.”
