The Trump administration is seeking new charges against former FBI director James Comey, accusing him of leaking classified information roughly a decade ago. Deutsche Welle reported the move on 27 October 2026, and Comey denies wrongdoing. BBC World reported that his lawyers say the case stems from the alleged disclosure of classified information to the New York Times in 2016, making it the third federal case against him. Comey's lawyers argue the new case is legally invalid and comes too late. The report did not give further details of the specific charges or the court schedule.
