前联邦调查局局长科米被联邦大陪审团起诉 被控虚假陈述与妨碍国会调查

2025年9月25日,美国司法部宣布,弗吉尼亚州东区的一个联邦大陪审团当天起诉前联邦调查局局长 James Comey,指控他就敏感信息的披露向国会作出虚假陈述,并妨碍国会调查。这位曾主导2016年大选期间相关调查的前局长,成为刑事被告。
根据司法部公布的起诉内容,科米被控一项妨碍国会调查罪(美国法典第18卷第1505条)与一项虚假陈述罪(同卷第1001条)。起诉书指,他在2020年9月30日向参议院司法委员会作证时表示,自己从未授权联邦调查局的任何人充当新闻报道的匿名消息源,而起诉书指这一说法不实。司法部表示,两项罪名若成立,每项最高可判处五年监禁。
案件由弗吉尼亚州东区联邦代理检察官 Lindsey Halligan 向大陪审团提出。她在声明中说,本案指控的罪行「是对公众信任非同寻常的破坏」。案件将在位于 Alexandria 的联邦地区法院审理。
司法部长 Pamela Bondi 当天表示:「没有人可以凌驾于法律之上。今天的起诉体现了司法部追究滥用职权、误导美国人民者的决心。我们将在本案中以事实为准。」联邦调查局局长 Kash Patel 也发表声明,称联邦调查局正继续致力于全面问责。
科米当天通过视频回应说,他对司法部感到心碎,但对联邦司法系统有充分信心,并表示自己无罪,希望接受审判。司法部在声明中强调,起诉书只是指控,被告在被依法证明有罪之前推定无罪。

Former FBI Director James Comey Indicted by Federal Grand Jury on False Statement and Obstruction Charges
On September 25, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia had indicted former FBI Director James Comey, charging him with making a false statement to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation in connection with the disclosure of sensitive information. The former director, who had overseen the bureau's 2016 election-related investigations, now faces criminal charges himself.
According to the Justice Department, Comey is charged with obstructing a congressional investigation in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1505, and with making a false statement in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001. The indictment alleges that, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 30, 2020, Comey stated that he did not authorize someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports, and that the statement was false. The department said each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
The case was presented to the grand jury by Lindsey Halligan, the interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. In a statement, she said the charges "represent a breach of the public trust at an extraordinary level." The case will be heard at the federal courthouse in Alexandria.
"No one is above the law," said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. "Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case." FBI Director Kash Patel also issued a statement, saying the bureau was continuing its work of full accountability.
Comey responded in a video the same day, saying his heart was broken for the Department of Justice but that he had great confidence in the federal judicial system, that he was innocent, and that he wanted a trial. The Justice Department emphasized that an indictment is merely an allegation, and that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
