James Comey Fights Back: Legal Showdown Over Alleged False Statements

Former FBI Director James Comey has intensified his legal defense against allegations of false statements linked to the Trump administration. He maintains his 2020 Senate testimony was truthful despite charges suggesting otherwise.
