US Justice Department Files Third Criminal Case Against Former FBI Director James Comey
The US Justice Department has filed a third criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey, accusing him of unlawfully disclosing national defense information in 2016. The case was filed just before the 10-year statute of limitations expired, using a criminal information to preserve prosecution rights. Comey's lawyers argue this filing is legally insufficient and outside the statute of limitations. The Justice Department maintains this procedure is a recognized practice and continues to seek an indictment. Comey denies the charges and asserts his innocence.
