UPDATE 1-US Justice Department indicts former FBI Director Comey a second time, CNN reports

The U.S. ‌Department of Justice ​has indicted former FBI Director James Comey ‌a second time, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing two sources familiar with the case.

The specific ‌charges were not yet clear nor ‌was it clear where the case would be brought, according to CNN. The indictment would mark ⁠the ​second time ⁠the Justice Department under Trump has indicted Comey, ⁠a longtime foe of President Donald Trump. Comey ​was charged with making a false statement and ⁠obstructing Congress in September, but a federal judge ⁠dismissed ​the case after finding that the prosecutor who secured the indictment ⁠was not lawfully appointed.

A Justice Department spokesperson did ⁠not ⁠immediately respond to a request for comment.
