Kash Patel Reveals FBI, DOJ Executing 'Multiple' Options on James Comey

Source: Newsweek

Published Nov 29, 2025 at 07:51 PM EST updated Nov 29, 2025 at 08:21 PM EST


FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that the Trump administration is not done with its pursuit of former FBI Director James Comey even after a federal judge dismissed the case against him.

Why It Matters

President Donald Trump fired Comey in 2017, and the former FBI director has remained a top target for the president and his supporters. In a message posted on Truth Social in September, Trump urged U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to "act fast" to prosecute Comey and other political enemies, saying that they are "guilty as hell" and "JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED NOW!!!" Comey was subsequently charged with making a false statement and obstructing Congress - allegations that stem from his appearances before lawmakers examining the FBI's handling of politically sensitive investigations and oversight of the 2016 Russia inquiry. Comey pleaded not guilty to the charges and maintains his innocence.

What To Know

U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie found that Lindsey Halligan had been appointed as interim U.S. Attorney just two days before Comey's case with no prior prosecutorial experience. Her disqualification renders her actions, including the signing of Comey's indictment, legally invalid. Patel sat for a wide-ranging interview with Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek, addressing topics including the culture change at the FBI, the Trump administration's deal with China to tackle fentanyl trade, and counterespionage operations.

Jekielek addressed the dismissal of Comey's case, giving Patel a chance to reveal that the administration is looking at other options in their case against Comey even as the appeals process plays out. "The judicial process can make whatever determination it wants, but we at the FBI and our partners at the DOJ have numerous options to proceed, and we're executing on all those options," Patel told during an exclusive interview posted on X. "So we're not done.

It’s going to be bye bye for many of the maladroit monsters. State AGs need to keep a running total of chargeable state felonies they can rain down on them so Piggy Pardons won’t mean shit.

Nevertheless, I hope he sues them into the stratosphere for malicious vindictive prosecution.

trump probably hates him because he's way taller than him.
