DOJ Charges James Comey for Third Time, This Time Over Alleged Leak of National Defense Information
27th October 2026
Comey is already under indictment on charges that he threatened the president by posting a photo of seashells arranged to read “86 47.” A previous indictment accusing Comey of lying to Congress was dismissed.
The new charges allege that Comey, through one or more co-conspirators, directed an unnamed person to disclose national defense information to a reporter for a national news publication in 2016.
