    Judge unseals Justice Department charges accusing James Comey of disclosing national defense information in 2016

    A two-count criminal information filed under seal Oct. 5 in federal court in Washington charges the former FBI director under the Espionage Act over an alleged Oct. 5, 2016, disclosure to a reporter. Comey has moved to dismiss, arguing the law required an indictment within 10 years; the department says an information was enough.
