Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted and released a statement declaring his innocence and defiance against what he described as the "costs to standing up to Donald Trump." The statement was released on September 26th, 2025, during the reporting window of 12:36 AM to 1:36 AM UTC. In his statement, Comey asserted, "We will not live on our knees." He further added, "Fear is the tool of a tyrant. I'm not afraid." The former FBI Director's declaration of innocence, "I'm innocent," was part of the released statement. This development follows previous reports concerning unrelated events, including a teenager's abduction in Florida, a shooting at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas, and a widespread 911 outage in Louisiana and Mississippi.
