Former FBI Director James Comey is facing indictment again — this time for disclosing classified information.
Comey was hit with two charges on October 5 in the District Court for the District of Columbia. The charging document was made public on Monday.
This is the third criminal case that the Trump DOJ has brought against Comey.
The Justice Department also notified Comey that the government is seizing all property from proceeds traceable to the offense.
The case was assigned to Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee.
Comey’s lawyers filed a motion to dismiss and said the new charges are invalid since Comey has not been indicted by a grand jury.
Comey became enraged and lashed out at the Trump DOJ in a video message posted to his Substack.
“Well, they’re back again. It would almost be funny if it weren’t such an appalling abuse of the Department of Justice, one that we cannot become numb to,” Comey said.
“Nothing’s changed with me. I’m still innocent. I’m still not afraid of these people, and I still believe in the independent federal judiciary,” he said
