Feds Investigating Years-Old Leaks Targeting Comey

“Federal prosecutors in Washington are investigating a years-old leak of classified information about a Russian intelligence document, and they appear to be focusing on whether the former FBI director James Comey illegally provided details to reporters,” the New York Times reports.

“The case is the second time the Justice Department has investigated leaks potentially involving Mr. Comey, a frequent target of President Trump, who has repeatedly called him a ‘leaker.’ Mr. Trump recently suggested without evidence that Mr. Comey should be prosecuted for ‘unlawful conduct’ and spend years in prison.”

“The timing of the investigation could raise questions about whether it was motivated at least in part by politics.”
