Patrice Failor (2R), wife of former FBI director James Comey, and daughter Maurene Comey (R) arrive for Comey's arraignment hearing at the Albert V. Bryan United States Courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia on October 8, 2025. Former FBI director James Comey, a prominent critic of US President Donald Trump, is to make his first court appearance on Wednesday to face charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding. Comey, 64, was indicted last month on two felony counts in an escalation of Trump's campaign of retribution against the Republican president's political foes.
