Comey criminal charges

DOJ charges James Comey for third time

The U.S. Justice Department has charged former FBI Director James Comey for a third time, this time with two counts of leaking information related to national defense. The case involves allegations that Comey authorized disclosure of classified information to The New York Times. The Trump administration filed the charges by bypassing a grand jury, according to one report. Comey, an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, was fired during Trump's first term.
