The Justice Department told a judge Friday that it may bring more charges against former FBI Director James Comey.
The judge then held off on deciding whether to dismiss a pending case to await further action by prosecutors.
The Trump administration is pursuing its third criminal case against Comey, this time accusing him of a news media leak in 2016.
Comey’s lawyers say the 10-year statute of limitations for those charges has expired. He has said he is “still innocent.”
