He has not been indicted by a grand jury or charged by criminal complaint, and was instead targeted through a criminal information filing.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the information was filed in order to preserve the statute of limitations before it expires, according to a Justice Department spokesperson. The official added that &#8220;this is an ongoing criminal investigation, and we will not comment further.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Comey&#8217;s attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald, said Comey &#8220;steadfastly maintains his innocence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The latest effort by the Justice Department stems from allegations that Comey gave national defense information to an unnamed individual for disclosure in a newspaper in October 2016.<\/p>\n<p>According to court filings in the case, The New York Times published an article on Oct. 5, 2016, titled, &#8220;Yahoo Said to Have Aided U.S. Email Surveillance By Adapting Spam Filter.&#8221; The article cited two unnamed government officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department alleges that it has uncovered evidence that Comey sought to &#8220;correct misinformation which had appeared in the press by way of Reuters the day before&#8221; and that Comey &#8220;directed staff&#8221; to speak with the Times reporter about the accuracy of the Reuters article.<\/p>\n<p>Fitzgerald said the information &#8220;purports to charge Mr. Comey with crimes that he did not commit.&#8221; In a separate video statement, Comey said, &#8220;well, they&#8217;re back again&#8221; \u2014 a reference to the two prior attempts to charge Comey, including a dismissed indictment accusing him of lying to Congress and a still-pending indictment accusing him of threatening President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would almost be funny if it weren&#8217;t such an appalling abuse of the Department of Justice, one that we cannot become numb to,&#8221; Comey said. &#8220;Nothing&#8217;s changed with me. I&#8217;m still innocent, I&#8217;m still not afraid of these people and I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a breaking story; it will be
