Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by Trump's Department of Justice — again — on Tuesday, CNN reported.
The charges behind the second indictment were not immediately released.
President Donald Trump has targeted his perceived political enemies throughout his second administration. He has argued that Comey, whom he believed was leading the alleged efforts to "weaponize" the justice system.
Comey served as FBI Director from 2013 to 2017. Trump fired him in May 2017 during his first administration, a dismissal that sparked controversy and led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election. Trump has repeatedly criticized Comey since his dismissal, alleging that Comey mishandled the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails and later the Russia probe, and has accused the former FBI director of bias against his administration.
Both Fox News and CNN reported that the latest indictment relates to his "8647" seashell post on Instagram.
