July 9, 2025 | Hailey Gomez
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley appeared Tuesday on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” and asked if former FBI Director James Comey’s previous 2020 testimony to the Senate could “trip the wire to perjury.”
Both Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan reportedly have been brought under criminal investigation for false testimony to Congress for potential wrongdoing in relation to the push of the infamous Steele dossier, alleging a conspiracy between Russia and President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, according to Fox News Digital. Replaying a clip of Comey’s 2020 testimony to the Senate, in which he pleaded ignorance to significant problems with the Steele dossier, Fox’s Laura Ingraham called the former FBI director’s answer “dismissive.”
“Now, I remember listening to that testimony and just almost falling out of my chair,” Turley said. “Virtually everything he said was untrue. In fact, the IG reports shredded the FBI and said that they didn’t follow protocol, that they ignored counterintelligence. So they pushed the Steele dossier forward, and these were two of the key individuals who did that.”

“So the question is, does any of this trip the wire to perjury? Both of these are sophisticated players,” Turley added. “You’ll notice that they’re very careful in how they word this. You know, Comey is very careful to say that there wasn’t basically malicious intent. Not that there weren’t mistakes, and time and time again, Comey portrayed himself as ignorant of all of these countervailing sources.”
