What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Justice Department has charged former FBI Director James Comey with transmitting national defense information and conspiring to do so, over an alleged disclosure to The New York Times in October of twenty sixteen.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentProsecutors filed on October fifth, exactly ten years after the alleged conduct, and the Justice Department says that was to keep the statute of limitations from expiring.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentComey's lawyers say the case is time barred and have moved to dismiss it.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt is his third prosecution, and he denies the charges.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe three page filing names no reporter and no co-conspirators, which leaves a lot of room for imagination.
