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.

Comey's legal filing challenges the accusations, citing ambiguous questions from Republican Senator Ted Cruz and stressing that the criteria for a false statement charge—namely clear questions and false answers—were not met in his case.

Comey claims he is unfairly targeted due to personal motives from Trump, reiterating that his testimony regarding FBI leaks was accurate. Legal proceedings continue as prosecutors prepare to respond.
