前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米被控在2020年向国会撒谎;他的团队声称Trump的政治报复。 Former FBI Director James Comey charged with lying to Congress over 2020 testimony; his team claims political retaliation by Trump.

前联邦调查局局长James Coomey因被控向国会撒谎和阻挠2020年证词的诉讼程序而面临联邦指控,他的律师团队寻求解职,声称起诉是前总统Donald Trump的政治驱使,目的是报复Comey的公开批评。 Former FBI Director James Comey faces federal charges for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing a proceeding over his 2020 testimony, with his legal team seeking dismissal, claiming the prosecution was politically driven by former President Donald Trump to retaliate for Comey’s public criticisms. 他们指控Trump向司法部施压,强迫一名职业检察官辞职,并安插白宫助理Lindsey Halligan -- -- 缺乏起诉经验 -- -- 担任美国临时检察官,他在诉讼时效到期前不久就起诉了Comey。 They allege Trump pressured the Justice Department, forced the resignation of a career prosecutor, and installed White House aide Lindsey Halligan—lacking prosecutorial experience—as interim U.S. Attorney, who indicted Comey just before the statute of limitations expired. Comey的律师认为此案违反了正当法律程序和平等保护, Comey’s lawyers argue the case violates due process and equal protection, calling it vindictive and unconstitutional. 检察官试图取消科米的首席律师帕特里克·菲茨杰拉德 （Patrick Fitzgerald） 的资格，理由是他涉嫌从 2017 年开始泄露媒体，但他的团队否认了这一说法，称这是试图破坏他的辩护。 Prosecutors have sought to disqualify Comey’s lead attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald, over alleged media leaks from 2017, a claim his team denies, saying it’s an attempt to undermine his defense. 该案仍有待美国区法官Michael Nachmanoff审理。 The case remains pending before U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff.
