A federal grand jury in Virginia has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two criminal counts.
These are linked to his congressional testimony five years ago about the FBI investigation into Russian election interference.
The criminal charges come after President Trump publicly demanded that the Justice Department move against Comey quickly.
Comey says he is innocent, and he released a statement online.
My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump.
But we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way.
We will not live on our knees.

Comey's son-in-law Troy Edwards is a prosecutor in the office that filed the charges against Comey.
Edwards has resigned.
Comey's daughter Maureen Comey, also a federal prosecutor,
