Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted a second time by Trump’s Justice Department, two sources familiar told CNN.

The specific charges were not immediately clear.

President Donald Trump has long pressed for his political adversaries to face charges, including the former FBI director whom he believed to be a key player in the alleged effort to “weaponize” justice system against him.

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.
