What to know about the indictment of James Comey and what happens after that

The US Department of Justice accused James Komei of the right because of his testimony to Congress five years ago.

The news brings back the former head of the FBI in the spotlight in the light of nearly a decade after playing a major role in the 2016 electoral campaign drama.

After a childhood in New York and New Jersey, the young lawyer worked on various federal prosecutors, including Rudi Juliani, in the prominent southern region of New York in the late eighties.

Later he prepared the waves as a public prosecutor against the House of Famous House, Martha Stewart, imprisoned for lying about financial misconduct in 2004.

He expanded the scope of the Ministry of Justice, but he left for the private sector before President Barack Obama appointed him to the FBI administration in 2013.

His work as a manager in the last weeks of the 2016 presidential election campaign has caused the use of democratic candidate Hillary Clinton for a private email server, storm.

After that, Mr. Kumi announced 11 days before the polling day that it reopened the case due to the discovery of new emails. Then, after a week, the case was closed again without taking any other action.

The Inspector General was criticizing Mr. Kumi’s dealings with the case and Clinton blamed his actions for her election defeat.

A few months later he was outside a job, Donald Trump, the new president.

At that time, Mr. Kumi was leading an investigation into the intervention of the Russian elections and whether there were any links between the Moscow and Trump campaign.

The White House said that the shooting was more than Mr. Komei’s handling of the Clinton probe. Democrats said that due to the investigation of Russia.

This confirmation was given an additional weight when Trump said in an interview that Russia was in his mind to act against Mr. Kumi.

As a result of the shooting, the investigation was placed in the hands of a special advisor.

This has led to dozens of criminal charges against Trump campaign employees and their partners for crimes, including computer piracy and financial crimes.

But he did not find that Trump and Russia’s campaign conspired to influence the elections.

The two -page accusation regulations on the details, but it says that Mr. Kumi has been charged with one of the wrong and other data of justice.

He confirms that he is innocent and this will be proven in court.

Both charges are related to the appearance of Mr. Komei via the video before the Senate Judicial Committee in September 2020.

He was interrogated about his dealings with the Clinton case and another investigation on the intervention of the supportive elections by Russia.

Prosecutors claim that Mr. Kumi misled the Senate by saying that he had not stated a leakage of the media about the FBI investigation.

The statute of limitations for five years on the fees based on that session ended next week.

It is not clear that the indictment is any part of Mr. Kumi’s evidence used by the prosecutors, or to which he refers to.

One of the main exchange was when Senator Ted Cruz referred Mr. Kumi to his certificate he presented to Congress three years ago, in 2017.

In this, he denied that he was a source of stories about Trump’s or Clinton investigations and deprived anyone at the FBI to be an unknown source in news reports.

Mr. Kumi Cruise told: “I stand by the testimony that I submitted in May 2017.”

Some Republicans were martyred by this answer by Mr. Comey as a possible false because they say that it was waived by the FBI deputy at the time, Andrew Mcabi.

They point to a report issued by the Inspector General of the Ministry of Justice in 2018, in which Mr. Maccabi is said to have told the investigators that Mr. Kumi authorized him to leak information to the press.

The prosecutor urged him at the end of last week to go vigorously after some of his opponents, and to name James Kumi among them.

The fact that these charges were presented a few days later, the president’s critics said that he had made the Ministry of Justice weapons for its own purposes, which led to the destruction of independence from the political intervention that the agency aims to adhere to it traditionally. Conservatives argue that Norm has already broken what they see in party investigations against Trump.

When the news of the indictment appeared, Trump published: “Justice in America! One of the worst humans that this country was exposed to is James Comey, the former president of the Federal Investigation Office.”

His hatred of Mr. Komei returns to years.

After shooting, Mr. Kumi was criticizing Trump and wrote a book that turned talks in which he said that the president had acted like the head of the mob by pressing him to drop the investigation into Russia.

Mr. Kumi will appear before the court in a referral on October 9, where the charges will be read and will enter into an appeal. The case will go to trial.

Trump said there could be more charges against other political figures.

The prosecutors have urged the accusation of Democratic Senator Adam Chef and New York General lawyer, Leitia James.

The Democratic Leader of the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez, condemned his actions as a “disgraceful attack on the rule of law.”
