American legal expert Claire Finkelstein said former FBI Director James Comey will likely fight his indictment over a social media post seen as critical of President Trump, arguing it was protected free speech, reports Todayinfo.
Finkelstein believes Comey will defend himself on free speech grounds. He made a brief court appearance in the case on Wednesday.
“Trump’s Justice Department is on a revenge tour,” Finkelstein said.
The case heightens political tensions in the US and raises questions about the Trump administration's pressure on opponents.
