美国检察官计划起诉前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米
摘要
新任弗吉尼亚东区美国检察官林赛·哈利根计划对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米提出涉嫌向国会撒谎的起诉，尽管此前调查结果显示证据不足。
林赛·哈利根，最近被任命为弗吉尼亚东区美国检察官，计划向大陪审团提交证据，寻求对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米提出涉嫌向国会撒谎的起诉。尽管此前检察官和调查人员认定证据不足以起诉科米，但她仍决定采取此行动。
本周早些时候，检察官向哈利根提供了一份详细备忘录，建议不要对科米追究伪证和妨碍司法公正的指控。调查未能确立合理的起诉依据，表明获得定罪的可能性较低。
哈利根此前没有刑事案件起诉经验，计划在诉讼时效下周到期前，将案件提交大陪审团审理。
此举与总统唐纳德·特朗普近期公开呼吁起诉政治对手，包括科米的立场一致。上周末，特朗普敦促司法部长帕姆·邦迪立即对科米、参议员亚当·希夫以及纽约州检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯采取行动。
哈利根曾是特朗普的私人律师，她的任命引发了前联邦检察官对司法部可能政治化的担忧。批评者认为，她缺乏起诉经验及其任命背景可能损害该办公室的公正性。
科米的律师尚未对可能的起诉请求发表评论。
