US government opens third case against James Comey
The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated a third investigation against former FBI director James Comey for allegedly compromising national security by disclosing documents in October 2016. The charges were first filed in a D.C. court on October 5, ten years after the alleged events. Comey's lawyers argue that an indictment differs from an 'information' and criticize the DOJ for potential abuses. Additionally, Comey faces accusations related to threats against Donald Trump and previously faced a case dismissed due to illegal appointment of the prosecutor. Meanwhile, his daughter, Maurene Comey, was illegally dismissed from her position as a federal prosecutor, with a judge ruling for her reinstatement and back pay, citing violations of constitutional rights. This case highlights the contentious relationship between the Comey family and the Trump administration.
