'Appalling abuse': Ex-FBI chief Comey erupts as Trump DOJ targets him again over classified leak

Former FBI Director James Comey faces a third federal criminal case as the Trump Justice Department pursues allegations that he disclosed national defense information to the media in 2016. The DOJ filed two counts through a criminal information as prosecutors seek a grand-jury indictment, while Comey’s lawyers challenge the case over the statute of limitations. Comey fired back by calling the prosecution an “appalling abuse” and declaring he is “still innocent” as the legal battle with Trump’s DOJ intensifies.
