Investing.com -- The U.S. Department of Justice has indicted former FBI Director James Comey for the second time, according to a source familiar with the case on Tuesday.

The specific charges and the location where the case will be brought remain unclear at this time.

Fox News reported, citing unnamed sources, that the case relates to a social media post Comey made last year that Trump allies interpreted as threatening.

This marks the second indictment of Comey by the Justice Department under President Donald Trump. Comey was previously charged with making a false statement and obstructing Congress in September, but a federal judge dismissed that case after determining the prosecutor who secured the indictment was not lawfully appointed.

The Justice Department has faced pressure to bring criminal charges against Trump's perceived political enemies, particularly following Trump's dismissal of former Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month.
