US DOJ Indicts Ex-FBI Director Comey for Decade-Old Leak, Bypassing Statute of Limitations

The move marks a significant escalation in the legal scrutiny of a former top intelligence official, though the specific mechanism and evidence remain undisclosed. This could signal a broader shift in how the US government prosecutes classified-information leaks, with potential implications for intelligence community norms and political tensions.
