Former FBI director James Comey hit with third set of charges under Trump
Comey, who was fired during Trump's first term, has been accused of unlawfully divulging national security information
James Comey, the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), is facing a third set of criminal charges under the administration of United States President Donald Trump.
On Monday, sealed documents came to light showing that the Trump administration accused Comey of two counts related to the unlawful dissemination of “information related to national defence”.
Comey, a high-profile Trump critic, has not been indicted in the case. He has denied any wrongdoing.
In a video on the online platform Substack, Comey once again denounced the Trump administration’s attempts to prosecute him as a campaign of political retribution.
