Trump administration seeks to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey

The Trump administration is seeking to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey over what it calls a disclosure of classified information, using a maneuver that bypasses a grand jury.

Comey’s lawyers say the case stems from an alleged disclosure of classified information to The New York Times in 2016.

The administration’s approach to the case bypasses the grand jury process, an unusual maneuver.
