前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米被联邦起诉
摘要
前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米因作虚假陈述和妨碍国会调查被起诉。
前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米已被联邦大陪审团以作虚假陈述和妨碍国会调查的指控起诉。起诉书指控科米妨碍了对敏感信息泄露的国会调查，并虚假作证称他未授权联邦调查局官员作为匿名线人。
司法部长帕梅拉·邦迪强调司法部对问责制的承诺，表示：
“无人能凌驾于法律之上。今天的起诉反映了本司法部致力于追究滥用权力误导美国人民者责任的决心。”
联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔强调恢复公众信任的努力，指出：
“长期以来，之前腐败的领导层及其帮凶将联邦执法部门武器化，损害了曾经自豪的机构，严重侵蚀了公众信任。我们每天都在继续努力，争取重新赢得这份信任。”
科米预计将于9月26日星期五自首，10月9日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚的美国地方法院进行提审。他否认所有指控，并表示将意图在法庭上抗辩。
