Reuters could not immediately determine how or when senior #FBI officials wanted to stage bringing #JamesComey into the #FBI Washington field office. Only a summons to appear in court was issued in the case, & NOT an arrest warrant. However, defendants will often report to an FBI field office for booking after a court summons is issued.
#Comey, who has denied wrongdoing, is due to appear in court in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside Washington, Thurs.
#Trump fired #Comey in 2017, early in his first term in office. He has since regularly assailed Comey's handling of the #FBI investigation that detailed contacts between #Russia & Trump's 2016 campaign.
Trump has threatened to imprison his political rivals since he first ran for president in 2015, but the move against Comey marks the first time his administration has succeeded in securing a grand jury indictment against one of them.
