Trump Faces Comey Charge, Young Lawsuit
October 27, 2026 · 3 sources
Trump is facing a criminal charge against former FBI director James Comey while being sued for $10 million by Neil Young. The Comey indictment, unsealed on Monday, alleges a 2016 leak of classified info. Lawyers argue the charge violates the ten-year statute of limitations and that the Department of Justice's filing is procedurally improper. Meanwhile, Trump campaigned in Mississippi on Monday to support Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, who faces a race against Democrat Scott Colom. The lawsuit, filed in Virginia, claims Trump used Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" at rallies in 2015 and 2020. Young's lawyers say the use violated copyright and that Trump's repeated performances amount to infringement, demanding $10 million in damages. With the DOJ's move and the court case unfolding, Trump's legal battles could shape the midterms narrative.
