Former FBI Director James Comey Indicted

Former FBI Director James Comey has been charged with crimes related to the disclosure of sensitive information.

The charges center on a testimony he gave in 2020, where he is accused of lying under oath, in which he told Congress he had not authorized someone at the FBI to leak sensitive information to the press as an anonymous source.
