DOJ Charges Comey With Leaking Defense Info—3rd Time

Federal prosecutors charged former FBI Director James Comey Monday with leaking national defense information—the third criminal case brought against him by the DOJ since President Trump's second term began. Comey denied wrongdoing, calling the charges an abuse of the Justice Department. James Comey, the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), is facing criminal charges for leaking national defense information for the third time. The two-count filing was made in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and accuses Comey of "knowingly and wittingly" transmitting national defense info and conspiring to do so. The charges were filed exactly 10 years after the alleged leak, a legal practice known as a "waiverless criminal information" used to limit the statute of limitations. This marks the third criminal charge brought by the Department of Justice since the start of President Donald Trump's second term. A previous case involving Comey was dismissed by a judge who found that the prosecutor handling the case had been illegally appointed.
