Former FBI Director James Comey has been criminally charged by the Justice Department for the third time.

Comey is charged over allegedly leaking a sensitive national security document when he was FBI director in October 2016, according to court records made public Monday.

Few additional details are available in the court record, though charges were first filed against Comey in the DC District Court on October 5 — 10 years after the alleged transmission of the document.

The case was unsealed on Monday.

Comey faces a separate criminal charge still in coastal North Carolina, for allegedly threatening the president in a social media post.

A previous case Comey was dismissed.

美国司法部第三次对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米提起刑事诉讼。

根据周一公布的法庭记录，科米被指控在 2016 年 10 月担任联邦调查局局长期间泄露了一份敏感的国家安全文件。

法庭记录中鲜有更多细节，不过科米于 10 月 5 日在华盛顿特区地方法院首次被提起诉讼——距离据称文件传输发生已过去 10 年。

该案于周一解封。

科米在北卡罗来纳州沿海地区还面临另一项刑事指控，据称他通过社交媒体帖子威胁总统。

科米之前的案件被驳回。
