The Department of Justice indicted former FBI Director James Comey for the second time on Tuesday, CNN reported, citing “two sources familiar.”The outlet did not identify the charges against Comey. The indictment follows a court dismissing a previous case against Comey, which was mired in legal scrutiny over the qualifications of acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan.
Reports broke in March that Comey had received a subpoena as part of a “grand conspiracy” probe by the DOJ.
Comey became a figure of national notoriety in 2016 after he announced that the FBI had reopened an investigation into then-former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a move that many have said swung the election to President Donald Trump.
