Ex-FBI Director James Comey to be arraigned after Trump called for his prosecution

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Trump had posted just days earlier on his social media platform, calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to charge Comey.
50% : A federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted Comey, whom Trump fired during his first term in office, on two charges last month: making a false statement and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
50% : " Comey is expected to be presented with the charges and plead not guilty at Wednesday's hearing, which begins at 10 a.m. The charges were filed after Trump successfully pressured the acting head of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia to resign.
50% : Trump then named one of his former personal attorneys, Lindsey Halligan, to head the office, though she has no prosecutorial experience.
33% : Trump has called for charges to be filed against other political foes since he began his second term, including New York Attorney General Letitia James and Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. A group of former federal judges warned last week that the case against Comey presented a "grave danger" to the rights and liberties of every American as "President Donald Trump continues to corruptly abuse the power of his office by directing the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to target his critics and his perceived political enemies for investigation and criminal prosecution."
