Based on reports from late September 2025, the statute of limitations for potential perjury charges against former FBI Director James Comey is set to expire on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.This five-year deadline is tied to his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 30, 2020.

Key details about the potential charges and the statute of limitations:

Five-year deadline: Federal law generally allows a five-year window for prosecutors to bring charges for offenses like perjury.

Focus of the investigation: The Justice Department's probe focuses on whether Comey made false statements to Congress in his 2020 testimony regarding the FBI's "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Indictment decision: As of September 24–25, 2025, federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia are reportedly nearing a decision on whether to ask a grand jury to indict Comey before the deadline.

Insufficient evidence: According to sources cited by ABC News, investigators and prosecutors in the case had previously concluded there was insufficient evidence and probable cause to bring charges against Comey.

Presidential pressure: The situation has drawn scrutiny due to reported pressure from President Donald Trump, who publicly called for prosecutions of his political rivals. The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was also fired shortly before the decision deadline.
