ABC News included one more detail on the counts, reporting that there are two of them:
Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two of three counts sought by prosecutors -- one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice -- just days after President Donald Trump issued a public demand for his Justice Department to act "now" to bring prosecutions against Comey and other political foes, according to sources.
The charges follow Trump's ousting of the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert, who according to sources had expressed doubts internally about bringing cases against Comey, as well as New York Attorney General Letitia James, after Trump appointed him to lead the office.
RedState wrote on Wednesday evening that both MSNBC and Fox News reported independent of each other that the charges were imminent, including a charge of lying to Congress: :
Former FBI Director James Comey, whom I often refer to as “St. Jim” because of his holier-than-thou, sanctimonious manner, is reportedly about to find out that the Department of Justice doesn’t find him so angelic after all. In fact, MSNBC is reporting Wednesday that he’s about to be indicted:
Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the coming days, MSNBC reported Wednesday, citing three sources.
"The full extent of the charges being prepared against Comey is unclear, but the sources believe that at least one element of the indictment--if it goes forward--will accuse him of lying to Congress during his testimony on September 30, 2020 about whether he authorized a leak of information," an MSNBC reporter wrote on X.

FBI Director Kash Patel also weighed in:

For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust. Every day, we continue the fight to earn that trust back, and under my leadership, this FBI will confront the problem head-on. Nowhere was this politicization of law enforcement more blatant than during the Russiagate hoax, a disgraceful chapter in history we continue to investigate and expose. Everyone, especially those in positions of power, will be held to account - no matter their perch. No one is above the law.
Before the news on the charges broke, President Donald Trump remarked on the impending indictment during a press gaggle:

"I can only say that Comey is a bad person. He's a sick person... He did terrible things at the FBI, but I don't know. I have no idea what's going to happen."
