James Comey, former FBI Director, has been indicted on two felony counts by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of North Carolina. The charges relate to a May 2025 Instagram post that prosecutors claim was a threat against former President Donald Trump, now serving as the 47th President of the United States. This marks the second prosecution against Comey under the Trump administration, following a previous case that was dismissed. The current charges include making threats against the president and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce. Prediction markets have reacted to Comey's indictment, with the "James Comey Sentenced to Prison in 2026" market indicating increased confidence in a potential conviction. The "James Comey Arrest Timeline" market reflects a 100% probability of an arrest by both April 30 and May 15.
