Watch: 'I'm not afraid', says James Comey after indictment

Former FBI director James Comey has said he is "not afraid" after being indicted on two charges related to his testimony in Congress.

Mr Comey, who has long drawn US President Donald Trump's criticism, is accused of lying to Congress during his September 2020 testimony over whether he authorised the leak of classified information to the media.

Responding to the indictment, Mr Comey said he was innocent and had "great confidence in the federal judicial system".
