Sen. Chuck Schumer says he has 'no faith in Trump's judicial system' after Comey indictment

Source: NBC News

Sept. 28, 2025, 10:58 AM EDT


Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday that he has “no faith in Trump’s judicial system” and accused the president of undermining democracy by going after former FBI Director James Comey and other political foes.

Schumer said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that President Donald Trump “has turned this judicial system to be his own political fighter, [to] do what he wants, politically, so that he tells them to go after people he doesn’t like. He tells them to exonerate people that he likes.”

Schumer pointed to Comey, who was indicted last week on charges of making a false statement and obstruction of a congressional proceeding, just days after the president said that Attorney General Pam Bondi should prosecute him. Trump also called for the Justice Department to investigate other political foes, including New York Attorney General Letitia James and Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

“When he says he doesn’t like Comey, look what happened there,” Schumer told “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker. “Trump’s done so many bad things to undermine our democracy, to undermine our norms. This is one of the very worst,” Schumer added.

With the exception of the white nationalist-heavy supreme court, many members of the judiciary seem to be upholding the law. The DOJ is a whole other story.

Maybe you should send Blondie a nasty email? Or write a concerned letter ...

Yeah, that's the ticket.
