BREAKING OVERNIGHT:
Former FBI Director James Comey is fighting to clear his name after being indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of lying to Congress.
The investigation relates to Comey’s 2020 congressional testimony about Russian interference in the 2016 election.
While President Trump has called for Comey’s prosecution and referred to the indictment as “justice,” the former FBI director has maintained his innocence.
“My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I'm innocent. So, let's have a trial,” Comey said in a video posted on his Instagram account.
Some Democrats claim Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department, accusing him of demanding the DOJ prosecute his perceived political enemies.
If convicted, Comey could face up to five years in prison.
He is set to be arraigned Oct. 9.

A new community hub is now open in downtown San Diego to help people repair and reuse certain everyday items instead of throwing them away.
The local nonprofit group Zero Waste San Diego opened its first storefront -- The Reuse & Repair Collective -- at 611 Beech St. in the Cortez Hill neighborhood.
The space aims to teach people how to fix broken items or extend the life of products.
“It's going to help people who don't have the space to repair things at home, don't have the tools to repair those homes, and maybe need a little bit of help. We're going to come here to make an appointment, and we'll work together to fix your things,” said Zero Waste San Diego President Laura Anthony.
The nonprofit has already kept more than 40,000 pounds of waste out of landfills through its fix-it clinics since 2016.
