The president of the United States, Donald Trump, again attacked James Comey, the former director of the FBI on Friday, describing him as “crooked police” and “corrupt”, a few hours after his accusation, especially to hinder justice.
The former 64 -year -old Federal Police Chief, James Comey, is prosecuted for false declaration and hinders justice “in relation to his oral testimony before the Judicial Commission of the United States Senate” in 2020, according to the Ministry of Justice. He was then questioned as part of FBI’s investigation into the alleged links between Russia and Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign in 2016. He was fired a year later by the Republican.
James Comey has “lied! It is not a complex lie, it is a very simple, important lie. There is no way to leave it. He is a crooked policeman, and has always been,” Donald Trump wrote in a publication on his social social platform.
“I knew exactly what he said, and that it was a very serious lie with important consequences, for which a high price must be paid!” Donald Trump added.
“I’m not afraid”
According to the Ministry of Justice, James Comey faces up to five years in prison.
In a video posted on Instagram, the interested party replied: “I’m not afraid.” He said he had “confidence in federal justice” and was “innocent.”
Since the return to the power of Donald Trump in January 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.
The US president publicly pressed this weekend at the Ministry of Justice this weekend to continue with those who put sticks on the wheels, increasing the fears of the democratic opposition at risk of questioning the separation of powers.
