联邦检察官建议不对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米提起指控
摘要
弗吉尼亚州联邦检察官建议不对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米提起刑事指控，理由是证据不足以定罪。
弗吉尼亚东区的联邦检察官建议不对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米提起刑事指控。据知情人士透露，本周早些时候，一份备忘录提交给新任美国检察官林赛·哈利根，详细说明了这一建议的理由。备忘录指出，司法部律师认为他们无法通过排除合理怀疑的标准证明指控，从而获得定罪，也无法达到较低的标准来支持起诉。此事发生在哈利根的前任埃里克·西伯特被总统唐纳德·特朗普解职之后。西伯特此前曾认定证据不足以起诉科米。总统还解除了纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯的职务，她长期以来一直是其政府的批评者。对科米不予起诉的决定正值司法部处理高调案件及其政治独立性受到持续审查之际。
