Former FBI Director James Comey faces two federal charges alleging he unlawfully transmitted national defense information and conspired to transmit it. Prosecutors allege he directed an intermediary to disclose sensitive information to a reporter in October 2016, but the filing does not identify the information, reporter, publication or alleged co-conspirators. The charges were filed under seal on Oct. 5 and made public Monday; Comey has not been indicted in this case. It is the third federal case brought against Comey during the Trump administration: an earlier case was dismissed, while a separate case over an alleged threat to President Trump remains pending. Comey has described prior prosecutions as vindictive and selective.
