Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Tuesday over a photo of seashells officials said threatened President Donald Trump, marking the administration’s second attempt to prosecute one of his largest political opponents, three sources first told CNN. In September of last year, the Justice Department first brought charges against Comey, accusing him of lying to Congress over leaks to the press.
The case was dismissed late last year by a federal judge who found that the interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia had been improperly appointed, having skirted approval from the Senate. 0:00 CNN Senior White House Correspondent Kristen Holmes reports that this indictment is related to Comey's social media post 1:55 CNN Crime and Justice Correspondent Katelyn Polantz reports 5:13 National security attorney Bradley Moss on Comey indictment Watch more CNN here: https://cnn.it/4kh5RPe #Comey #Trump #News
