Former FBI director James Comey could face charges for giving false testimony and for leaking government documents to the press—that is, if the Justice Department decides to press charges. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders recently said the department should look at the possibility of prosecution.

“I think there is no secret Comey, by his own self-admission, leaked privileged government information,” Sanders said during a Sept. 12 White House press briefing, responding to questions on whether it was a bad idea for President Donald Trump to fire Comey.
