The indictment comes after President Trump pressured Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute Comey, with one of the false statement counts being dismissed by the grand jury due to lack of consensus.

Rumors circulated online in September 2025, alleging that two-thirds of detainees were missing from the Florida migrant detention center “Alligator Alcatraz.” These rumors stemmed from Miami Herald investigations using detainee rosters, which found the whereabouts of many detainees were unknown as of the end of August.
