James Comey Faces Major Grand Jury Subpoena

The Trump DOJ has subpoenaed former FBI Director James Comey as part of the “grand conspiracy” probe against Deep State officials (e.g., former CIA Director John Brennan, former Special Counsel Jack Smith), dating back to the 2016 presidential election and the Russia collusion hoax. 

Just to be clear, this subpoena is separate from Comey’s September 2025 indictment. Back then, he was indicted on felony charges for making false statements to Congress and for obstructing an official congressional proceeding. (Brennan also found himself in hot water as evidence appeared to indicate perjury over testimony regarding the Steele dossier.)

As the indictment was coming down, Comey posted a video on social media proclaiming his innocence. He called the charges the “costs to standing up to Donald Trump.” Defiant courage from the man who once reportedly hid in the curtains to avoid being singled out by Trump.

Eventually, a judge dismissed the case, finding that the U.S. attorney who brought the charges against Comey was unlawfully appointed. And to be honest, the U.S. attorney did appear to rush to bring her charges, leading to their dismissal. 

However, back to today’s shocking development. The use of “conspiracy” in this context originated with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who released the documents that led to the initial 2025 indictments against Comey and Brennan. 

As a result of Gabbard’s bombshell, more than 130 subpoenas were issued. And what raised the most eyebrows was when her documents also claimed that former President Barack Obama was involved in this “treasonous conspiracy.” 

So now in 2026, Comey will be forced to testify before a grand jury about his alleged role in this “treasonous conspiracy” to undermine President Trump almost 10 years ago. And this time, unlike when the U.S. attorney rushed to bring charges against Comey in the initial indictment, any resulting charges are unlikely to be thrown out for being too hasty.

As I mentioned, Comey’s alleged crime began 10 years ago. What about the statute of limitations? 

If the charges involve a conspiracy, the statute of limitations timeline shifts. If a person commits a single, non-capital federal crime, a five-year statute of limitations usually applies. However, if someone commits a crime in a conspiracy and the crime is ongoing, then the statute of limitations extends.

And many are pointing to testimony that Comey provided to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020 as evidence that he continued to engage in a conspiracy against President Trump. Should Comey be worried about this latest subpoena? We will let you know of further updates.

While the Trump DOJ is investigating Comey, the ACLJ is also demanding that the Deep State be held accountable. For example, we are fighting back against former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Arctic Frost surveillance scheme.

We learned that Smith abused his prosecutorial power to spy on at least eight sitting U.S. Senators and hundreds of prominent conservatives and groups. He unconstitutionally subpoenaed the phone records of these Senators, including some of the most vocal defenders of liberty and due process in Washington, in the Arctic Frost investigation he took over from the FBI.

Backed by leading Republican U.S. Senators, the ACLJ filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request demanding every record related to this unconstitutional spying operation designed to dig up dirt against political opposition. 

The ACLJ will not stop until the truth is exposed. We are committed to uncovering the full scope of Arctic Frost and Jack Smith’s use of federal power to target conservatives – so this abuse is exposed, accountability is enforced, and nothing like this ever happens again.

Today’s Sekulow broadcast included a full analysis of the latest subpoena of former FBI Director James Comey. ACLJ Senior Associate Counsel Nathan Moelker also provided an update on our ongoing U.S. Supreme Court case against Gov. Gavin Newsom. Late Thursday afternoon, Newsom was forced to respond to our Supreme Court case to defend the Church. Now our deadline to reply is looming.
