🔻 The American justice system is again looking for the trial of James Comey.

Federal prosecutors in the US are again seeking to indict James Comey, the former head of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for what is known as the "disclosure of national defense information".

This is the third time the US Department of Justice has filed criminal charges against Comey. A person who is a serious critic of Donald Trump, the President of the United States.

The three-page court documents do not provide many details about the two charges. However, James Comey's lawyers announced in separate documents that the case goes back to the disclosure of alleged classified information to the New York Times in October 2016; When Comey was head of the FBI.

Comey denied any wrongdoing and called the allegations "appalling abuse" in a video he posted on the SABASTEC platform on Monday. In this video he said: "If this issue was not such a shocking abuse of the Ministry of Justice, it could almost be laughed at; but we should not be indifferent to such a thing."

Comey added: "I haven't changed anything; I'm still innocent, I'm still not afraid of these people, and I still believe in the independence of the federal judiciary."
