Ingested in the history of the United States. One of Donald Trump’s black animals, former FBI director James Comey, was accused on Thursday, September 25, particularly by Hindrance to Justice, a decision immediately praised by the US president, whose pressures aimed at political opponents begin to bear fruit.
“Today, a Grand Federal Jury (a committee of citizens invested with investigation powers) accused the former director of the FBI, James Comment, of serious crimes linked to the dissemination of confidential information,” the Ministry of Justice announced in a statement.
The former 64 -year -old Federal Police leader is prosecuted for false declaration and makes justice difficult “in relation to his oral testimony before the United States Senate Judicial Commission” in 2020, according to the Ministry, specifying that he faces up to five years in prison.
James Comey was questioned as part of FBI’s investigation into the alleged links between Russia and Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign in 2016.
Donald Trump exults
“Justice in the United States!”, The latter was received in his social network of truth, describing James Comey as “one of the worst human beings that this country has known.”
The interested party responded quickly: “I’m not afraid.” “Fear is the weapon of the tyrants,” James Comey added in an Instagram video. “My family and I know for years what it costs to oppose Donald Trump,” he said, asking not to live “on his knees” against the president.
“I have confidence in federal justice and I am innocent,” concluded the former FBI chief.
Since the return to power in January of Donald Trump, after a campaign in which he had sworn avenge from his political opponents, the US authorities have launched several procedures against personalities considered hostile to the Republican, including James Comey and the former director of the CIA John Brennan.
“Pay the price”
The US President had pressed this weekend at the Ministry of Justice this weekend to continue with those who put sticks on the wheels, increasing the fears of democratic opposition at risk of questioning the separation of powers.
In July, he had already suggested that James Comey, like John Brennan, could have to account. “They are two very dishonest people. I think they are finished and may have to pay the price,” Donald Trump said in front of the White House press.
During his first term, he brutally rejected James Comey in 2017 when the FBI was investigating the possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.
In a report in 2019, the FBI had concluded that the evidence of collusion between Moscow and Donald Trump was insufficient, but had increased a series of disturbing pressures exercised by the president on the investigation.
“Do things”
While his opponents accuse him of the authoritarian drift, Donald Trump did not hide his impatience to the postponement of the Ministry of Justice in the possible prosecution against other adversaries, including the attorney general of the state of New York Letitia James.
The latter is accused by the manager of the Bill About Housing Financing Agency, a Donald Trump relative, falsifying documents on real estate loans applications.
Last week, the media announced the departure of federal prosecutor Erik Siebert a few hours after Donald Trump publicly affirmed. According to the American press, Erik Siebert had refused, for lack of sufficient evidence, to initiate prosecution against Letitia James but also James Comey.
Since then, Donald Trump has appointed Lindsey Halligan, a White House advisor, instead, believing that Justice Minister Pam Bondi “had needed a hard prosecutor” by his side “to make things happen.”
