Justice Department tells judge it may bring more charges against James Comey
The Trump administration's Justice Department has brought criminal charges against James Comey, the former FBI director, accusing him of mishandling classified information from 2016. Comey's lawyers say the charges are invalid and represent an abuse of the Department of Justice. Comey is now in court asking a judge to dismiss the allegations. Legal experts say the cases are unlikely to succeed, though the administration may be pursuing them for reasons beyond seeking a conviction.
