| 0:00.0 | As I think you are all following, we are continuing to follow very closely, and we're continuing to learn more about the breaking news that former FBI director James Comey has been indicted on two criminal counts by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia. |
| 0:12.9 | That, of course, just happened in the last couple of hours. |
