James Comey, former FBI director and critic of Donald Trump, is being sued again, this time for leaking confidential information

Former FBI director James Comey has been indicted for allegedly leaking classified information a decade ago. This marks the third legal action against him in over a year. The U.S. Justice Department claims Comey shared national defense information with an unauthorized individual in October 2016. Comey, who maintains his innocence, criticized the indictment as an abuse of justice. His attorney noted that previous investigations into the same matter did not lead to charges. Comey has faced other legal challenges, including accusations of lying under oath and threatening President Trump. He was dismissed from the FBI in 2017 during an investigation into foreign interference.
