Acting AG discusses DOJ investigations involving former FBI Director Comey
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche addressed DOJ investigations, including charges against former FBI Director James Comey that extend beyond social media posts.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche discussed ongoing Justice Department investigations during a Sunday appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," addressing both charges against former FBI Director James Comey and broader departmental findings.
Regarding the Comey case, Blanche stated that the indictment encompasses more than the Instagram post that has been central to public discussion of the charges. "This is not just about a single Instagram post," Blanche told NBC News, though he did not elaborate on additional details of the prosecution.
The Justice Department has characterized its prosecution of Comey as similar to other threat cases involving public officials. However, legal experts have noted that the case against the former FBI director may present unique prosecutorial challenges given his history and previous role in law enforcement.
Separately, Blanche announced that a DOJ investigation had identified what he described as anti-Christian bias within federal agencies. He characterized this as a "systematic culture issue" rather than isolated incidents involving individual agents or offices, though specific details of the investigation's findings were not immediately provided.
The developments come as the Justice Department continues its work under new leadership following recent administrative changes. Both investigations represent ongoing efforts by the department to address internal practices and pursue cases involving former government officials.
