联邦调查局考虑逮捕前局长詹姆斯·科米并起诉

摘要

联邦调查局正在考虑在前局长詹姆斯·科米被起诉后公开逮捕他,内部出现分歧导致一名特工被停职。

联邦调查局正在审议对前局长詹姆斯·科米进行公开逮捕和“罪犯游街”,科米最近因作虚假陈述和妨碍司法被起诉。这一考虑引发了内部不和,导致一名拒绝参与该计划的特工被停职。

科米上周被指控向国会撒谎并妨碍国会程序,此前总统特朗普公开施压司法部长潘·邦迪对其展开调查。大陪审团于9月25日对科米进行了起诉,他已被传唤于10月9日在北弗吉尼亚联邦法院出庭。他的法律团队已同意他自愿出庭。

在起诉当天,联邦调查局领导层讨论了在科米出庭前逮捕他的计划。他们提议派遣全副战术装备的特工执行该行动。主管特别探员克里斯·雷拒绝参与,认为这种做法不适合像科米这样的白领被告。因此,雷因不服从命令被停职。

联邦调查局正积极组建团队,在科米预定出庭前将其逮捕,尽管其他主管也表达了不情愿。该机构预计将找到愿意执行逮捕任务的人员。

对科米的起诉标志着特朗普总统与这位前联邦调查局局长之间长期冲突的重大升级,特朗普曾在其首任期初期解雇了科米。指控称,五年前科米在参议院听证会上撒谎,虚假陈述他未授权联邦调查局任何人作为匿名消息来源向媒体透露有关希拉里·克林顿调查的情况。科米否认有任何不当行为。

这些指控发生在科米被起诉的弗吉尼亚东区美国检察官办公室经历动荡之后。首席检察官埃里克·西伯特两周前辞职,由特朗普总统的前私人律师林赛·哈利根接替。哈利根上任后不久便推动了对科米的大陪审团起诉。

据司法部消息人士称,办公室内一些工作人员曾流传备忘录,反对对科米提出指控。
