## Key points

- Comey faces new national defence information charges.
- It is the third charging attempt since Trump’s second term began.
- His first case was dismissed; he denies the second case’s allegations.

## Summary

Former FBI Director James Comey has been charged with transmitting national defence information and conspiring to transmit it. The charges mark the third time the Justice Department has attempted to bring a criminal case against him since Donald Trump began his second term.

The latest charges were brought under seal earlier this month. Earlier cases accused Comey of making false statements to Congress and threatening Trump through an Instagram photo of seashells arranged as “86 47”; a judge dismissed the first case, while Comey has pleaded not guilty in the second. Comey says the cases are vindictive and selective prosecutions.
