前FBI局长科米第三度被起诉：司法部指控其2016年传递国防信息并指使他人向记者披露
华盛顿 — 美国司法部（DOJ）10月26日公开一份此前封存的刑事起诉书，第三度对前联邦调查局（FBI）局长詹姆斯·科米（James Comey）提起刑事指控。起诉书指控科米于2016年10月5日前后，在哥伦比亚特区及其他地方，知情并故意向无权接收者传递与国防有关的信息，涉嫌违反《美国法典》第18编第793(d)条；这份起诉书10月5日提交至哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院，案号26-cr-00229-TNM，10月26日解封公开。
起诉书共3页，列有两项罪名。第一项指控称，科米在合法持有、接触并受托保管与国防有关的文件与信息期间，明知有关信息可能被用于损害美国或有利于外国，仍将其传递给无权接收者。第二项为共谋罪名：起诉书称，科米与已知及未知的其他人在不迟于2016年10月4日的一段期间内共谋实施同一行为；作为共谋行为之一，科米于2016年10月5日通过一名或多名共谋者，指使「1号个人」向一家全国性新闻刊物的记者披露国防信息，涉嫌违反第793(d)条与第793(g)条。起诉书同时附有没收通知，并由代理司法部副部长麦科特（R. Trent McCotter）等人签署。第793(d)条定罪最高可处十年监禁。
科米10月26日在 Instagram 发布视频回应。他说：「他们又来了。这一次，是关于我在2016年秋天写的那本书。我仍然是无辜的，我不害怕。他们想让我沉默，而我不会沉默，因为我太热爱这个国家了。让我们再来一场审判吧。」（"they're back again... I'm still innocent and I'm not afraid... Let's have a trial again."）据《华盛顿邮报》报道，科米在视频中称美国已进入「报复时代」；该报引述了解调查情况的执法官员称，此案似乎与科米2016年10月处理希拉里·克林顿（Hillary Clinton）电邮调查期间向记者作出的披露有关。司法部首席发言人娜塔莉·巴尔达萨雷（Natalie Baldassarre）婉拒置评。
科米2013年至2017年任联邦调查局局长，2017年被总统特朗普解职。此案是特朗普重返白宫以来司法部对科米提起的第三起刑事案件：2025年9月，科米在弗吉尼亚州被诉向国会作虚假陈述与妨碍国会程序，该案2025年11月被法官驳回，理由是主诉检察官的任命不合法；2026年4月，科米又在北卡罗来纳州被诉，指控与其在社交媒体发布「86 47」贝壳照片有关，该案仍在审理中，科米否认有不法行为并已请求法官驳回。目前新案的全部指控均为检方主张，科米尚未就此案被定罪，后续庭审程序有待法院安排。

Former FBI Director James Comey Charged a Third Time: DOJ Alleges 2016 Disclosure of National Defense Information to a Reporter
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on October 26 made public a previously sealed criminal information charging former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey for a third time. The filing alleges that on or about October 5, 2016, in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, Comey knowingly and willfully communicated information relating to the national defense to a person not entitled to receive it, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 793(d). The information was filed on October 5 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Case No. 26-cr-00229-TNM, and unsealed on October 26.
The three-page filing lists two counts. Count One alleges that Comey, while lawfully possessing and being entrusted with documents and information relating to the national defense, and having reason to believe the information could be used to injure the United States or to the advantage of a foreign nation, communicated it to a person not entitled to receive it. Count Two charges conspiracy: it alleges that Comey and others, known and unknown, conspired over a period ending not later than October 4, 2016, to commit the same offense, and that on October 5, 2016, acting through one or more co-conspirators, he directed "Individual #1" to disclose national defense information to a reporter for a national news publication, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 793(d) and (g). The filing includes a forfeiture notice and is signed by Acting Deputy Attorney General R. Trent McCotter and others. A conviction under Section 793(d) carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.
Comey responded in a video posted to Instagram on October 26. "Hey, they're back again. This time it's about my book in the fall of 2016. And I'm still innocent and I'm not afraid," he said. "They want to silence me, and I'm just not going to be silent just because I love this country too much. Let's have a trial again." According to The Washington Post, Comey said in the video that the country had entered an "era of retribution," and the Post, citing law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation, reported that the case appears tied to disclosures to reporters in October 2016 connected to Comey's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. DOJ lead spokeswoman Natalie Baldassarre declined to comment.
Comey served as FBI director from 2013 to 2017 and was fired by President Trump in 2017. The case is the third criminal case the Justice Department has brought against Comey since Trump returned to office: in September 2025 Comey was indicted in Virginia on charges of making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding, a case a judge dismissed in November 2025 after ruling that the prosecutor who brought it was unlawfully appointed; in April 2026 he was indicted in North Carolina in a case tied to his "86 47" seashell photograph post, which remains pending — Comey has denied wrongdoing and moved to dismiss it. All charges in the new case are allegations by prosecutors; Comey has not been convicted in this case, and further court proceedings have yet to be scheduled.
