Former FBI Director James Comey has been charged with leaking national defence information, according to a court filing, the BBC reported.
The charges mark the third time the Justice Department has brought criminal charges against Comey, a longtime critic of President Donald Trump.
The three-page court filing provides few details about the two counts. In separate court papers, Comey’s lawyers said the case stemmed from an alleged disclosure of classified information to the “New York Times” in October 2016, when he was head of the FBI.
Comey denied wrongdoing in a video posted on “Substack” on Monday, calling the charges an “appalling abuse of the Department of Justice”.
