James Comey’s book publisher taking steps to prevent leaks: Report

Published



The publisher of former FBI Director James Comey’s forthcoming book is taking extreme measures to ensure the details of the memoir remain secret until it hits shelves, according to a report.

Flatiron Books has implemented an electronic system to allow editors and agents access to drafts only if they have a password, Politico reported. The memoir is also kept under a code name, making it more difficult for staffers not working on the project to find it.
