48. You are correct. He hasn't specifically referenced the Comey indictment. He made a general statment

about trump using the DOJ as an instrument going after his perceived political enemies a few days before the actual indictment, but referenced in a general statement on September 21, 2025.

"Driving the news: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) argued on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that Trump is turning the DOJ "into an instrument that goes after his enemies, whether they're guilty or not" and "that helps his friends."

Schumer in the same interview warned, "This is the path to a dictatorship."

But nothing specifically on Comey when he was indicted on September 25, 2025.

Thanks.
