Neutral summary
The Trump administration is attempting to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey over an alleged decade-old leak of classified information, according to documents unsealed Monday in federal court in Washington. The Justice Department said it filed a criminal information under seal on Oct. 5 to toll the 10-year statute of limitations, calling the practice widely recognized and approved by multiple circuit courts. Comey's lawyers, including Patrick Fitzgerald, called the filing invalid because it was not an indictment approved by a grand jury and was filed outside the time limit. They have asked a judge to dismiss it, and that request is pending. The allegations concern an October 2016 New York Times story about a secret surveillance court order to Yahoo. Prosecutors said Comey sought to correct press misinformation and illegally transferred classified information. Comey said in a video statement he is innocent. Trump said he knew little about the case and called Comey a "dirty cop."
Where accounts differ. The Toronto Star account describes the case without the Gulf News details on the Yahoo story, the midterm context and Trump's remarks, which appear only in Gulf News.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
