WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump criticized James Comey on Thursday but said the Justice Department would decide whether to seek the indictment of his former FBI director.

“I can’t tell you what’s going to happen, because I don’t know,” Trump told reporters at the White House. He said federal prosecutors would “make a determination.”

Prosecutors are expected to ask a grand jury to indict Comey, Trump’s longtime political antagonist, in the Eastern District of Virginia in the coming days, two sources briefed on the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

Trump said he believed he would be allowed to get involved in the Comey case but chose not to do so. “I can only say that Comey is a bad person. He’s a sick person,” Trump said. “Actually he did terrible things at the FBI.”
