詹姆斯·科米因涉嫌虚假陈述和妨碍司法被起诉

摘要

前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米因向国会作出虚假陈述及妨碍国会程序被起诉,指控源于他2020年关于联邦调查局调查2016年俄罗斯干预选举的证词。

前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米被联邦大陪审团以向国会作出虚假陈述和妨碍国会程序的指控起诉。该起诉书在弗吉尼亚东区法院提交,聚焦于科米于2020年9月30日在参议院司法委员会作证时,关于联邦调查局调查2016年总统选举中俄罗斯干预事件的证词。

起诉书指控科米虚假声明称他未授权联邦调查局任何人作为匿名消息来源向新闻媒体透露有关联邦调查局调查的信息。此外,起诉书还指控他在作证过程中通过提供误导性信息妨碍了委员会的调查。

司法部长帕姆·邦迪强调司法部对问责制的承诺,她表示:“没有人可以凌驾于法律之上。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的责任。我们将依据事实推进此案。”

科米的律师帕特里克·菲茨杰拉德回应指控时表示:“詹姆斯·科米完全否认今天提出的所有指控。我们期待在法庭上为他洗清冤屈。”

此次起诉是在前总统唐纳德·特朗普公开呼吁起诉科米及其他与俄罗斯干预调查相关人员之后进行的。该案由弗吉尼亚东区美国检察官办公室负责起诉,预定于10月9日在迈克尔·S·纳克曼诺夫法官面前进行提审。
