Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted again by the U.S. Department of Justice, according to Reuters, which cited a source familiar with the case.
The exact charges were not immediately clear Tuesday, and Reuters said it was not yet known where the case would be filed.
Fox News reported that the new indictment is related to an Instagram photo showing an “8647” shell formation on a beach.
The indictment would mark the second criminal case brought against Comey by the Justice Department under President Donald Trump. Comey has long been a target of Trump’s public criticism.
Comey was charged in September with making a false statement and obstructing Congress. A federal judge later dismissed the case after finding that the prosecutor who secured the indictment was not lawfully appointed.
Reuters reported that the Justice Department has faced pressure to bring criminal cases against people Trump views as political opponents, particularly after Trump fired former Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month.
