Former FBI director James Comey faces third federal indictment
Former FBI Director James Comey faces federal charges for allegedly disclosing classified national defense information, marking his third indictment.
Federal prosecutors have moved to charge former FBI Director James Comey with allegedly disclosing classified national defense information to an unauthorized recipient, according to court documents unsealed in Washington.
Comey faces two counts in the latest court filing. This marks the third time the US Department of Justice has brought criminal charges against Comey, a prominent critic of President Donald Trump who was removed from his leadership post in 2017. Previous indictments against Comey included charges of making false statements to Congress—which were subsequently dismissed by a federal judge—and a separate charge earlier this year involving a social media post.
