Former FBI Director James Comey has been charged by federal prosecutors with transmission of national defense information and conspiracy to transmit national defense information.

It’s the third federal case against Comey, who has been a longtime Trump target since he initiated the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Comey’s defense attorneys filed a motion 10 days ago to dismiss the charges against him. He has not been indicted in the case.
