The documents of the District of Columbia court's electronic database confirm that James Comey was charged with passing on national security information. According to the lawsuit, in October 2016, the former FBI director gave "information related to the national defense" of the United States to a person who did not have the appropriate level of security clearance. The department also believes that Comey colluded with one or more individuals to illegally transmit this information. According to Reuters, Comey himself refused to plead guilty. His lawyers submitted a proposal to the court demanding that the charges brought by the Ministry of Justice be dropped. Tag: Max.
