Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey has been charged for a third time with federal crimes, this time for knowingly communicating national defense information to an unauthorized recipient.

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) charged Comey in federal court on Monday with unlawfully disclosing national defense information, alleging he directed an individual to leak sensitive material to a national news reporter in October 2016.

Comey was first charged was in September 2025 on charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding during his 2020 testimony on the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

The former FBI Director was later charged again by a federal grand jury in April over an online social media post featuring seashells arranged to read “86 47.” Prosecutors framed the image as a threat to harm the president — as “86” is a slang term meaning to throw out and/or eliminate, while “47” is a reference to the 47th President, Donald Trump.
