U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has responded to the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. In a statement, Grassley addressed the ongoing investigations that were underway at the time of the alleged offenses.

“At the time of Comey’s alleged false statements and obstruction, my colleagues and I had active investigations. If the facts and the evidence support the finding that Comey lied to Congress and obstructed our work, he ought to be held accountable,” Grassley said.

The indictment accuses Comey of making false statements and obstructing congressional investigations during his tenure as FBI Director. The case is expected to proceed through federal courts in accordance with standard legal procedures.
