The Trump administration is pursuing charges against former FBI Director James Comey for a decade-old alleged leak of classified information, alleging he illegally transferred material related to a 2016 New York Times article about a secret court order and has filed a criminal information to toll the statute of limitations.

The article is breaking news with updates anticipated as the situation develops.

Ongoing legal developments are being tracked, with promises of more details as they become available.

Trump’s Texas campaign stops are tied to promoting a newly arrived Venezuelan oil tanker and backing Republican candidates, with Marco Rubio joining him on some events, highlighting the overlap of governance and campaigning.

Comey has publicly criticized the case as an appalling abuse of the Department of Justice via a Substack post, reaffirming his innocence.

The move is part of a broader pattern of politically charged DOJ actions ahead of the midterm elections and follows other Comey-related cases, including a separate indictment over an Instagram post threat and prior cases that were dismissed or not charged.

In France, recent violent demonstrations are discussed in the context of public safety, immigration, and national security, with emphasis that immigration status or religion alone does not establish extremism.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Trump’s approval at 32%, with Democrats leading 47% to 36% on party preference ahead of the November midterms.

The ruling underscores constitutional checks and balances, affirming that the President is not above the law.

The information filing is framed as a high-stakes, contested legal strategy whose fate depends on how appellate courts interpret the interaction between information filings and statute-of-limitations issues.

The case was unsealed by U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden after being sealed since Oct. 5, with the judge noting press coverage surrounding the investigation.
