美国白宫周三解密了相关信息,内容涉及联邦调查局针对特朗普总统解雇联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米时是否为俄罗斯代理人的调查,一名政府官员表示,该说法并无证据支撑。
该官员称,这项代号为“牛津逗号”的调查是“跨火飓风”调查的子项目,后者是联邦调查局针对2016年特朗普竞选团队与俄罗斯政府是否存在潜在勾结的调查——这一调查长期以来一直激怒特朗普。“牛津逗号”的调查缘起是这位新任总统2017年解雇科米的决定。
该官员表示,该案被标记为敏感案件,这么做通常是为了不让其他探员接触此案。启动调查的探员称,他们认为这将是应对重大国家安全风险的最低干预手段。
该官员透露,“牛津逗号”最终被并入特别检察官罗伯特·米勒针对特朗普的更大规模调查中,且在米勒调查整体结案后被认定毫无根据。
“此前我不知道‘妨碍司法’的指控依据中,包含唐纳德·特朗普某种程度上是在为弗拉基米尔·普京行事的说法,”该官员表示,“简而言之,当时联邦调查局掌握的几乎所有证据都已驳斥或排除了特朗普及其竞选团队当时与俄罗斯勾结的可能性。”

特朗普于2017年5月解雇科米,彼时他的首任总统任期仅开启数月。白宫最初以科米处理对国务卿希拉里·克林顿邮件的调查为解雇理由,但米勒的报告显示,特朗普因科米拒绝公开表明总统本人未因与俄罗斯的潜在关联接受调查而心生不满。
解雇科米最终成为针对特朗普展开更大规模调查的导火索。科米被解雇后,时任副检察长罗德·罗森斯坦任命米勒为特别检察官,调查俄罗斯干预2016年美国总统选举的指控,以及特朗普竞选团队是否存在相关关联。
米勒最终未发现特朗普竞选团队成员“共谋或协调”与俄罗斯勾结的证据,但他确实指出了竞选团队与俄罗斯政府关联人员之间存在的部分接触。
特朗普经常指责联邦调查局及其他情报机构针对其竞选团队和总统任期开展不道德调查,并誓言启动自己的调查。他长期批评科米,称其为“肮脏的警察”,而科米也曾猛烈抨击特朗普,称其“道德败坏”,不配担任总统。
今年早些时候,科米因发布排列成“86 47”数字的贝壳照片被指控威胁特朗普的生命。科米声称自己遭到报复性且选择性起诉,美国司法部对此予以否认。去年,他还因另一起向国会作虚假陈述的指控被起诉,但该起诉已被驳回。
White House declassifies info on secret FBI probe into whether Trump fired Comey at Russia’s behest, official says

The White House on Wednesday declassified information claiming the FBI opened an investigation into whether President Trump was acting as an asset for Russia when he fired FBI Director James Comey, a theory an administration official said was not backed up by evidence.
The official said the investigation, known as Oxferd Comma, was a subcomponent of Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI probe into potential collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and the Russian government — an investigation that has long drawn Mr. Trump’s ire. The predicate of Oxferd Comma was the newly elected president’s decision to fire Comey in 2017.
The case was marked sensitive, which is generally done to keep a case off the books from other agents, the official said. The agents who opened the case said they believe it was going to be the least intrusive method to address a serious national security risk.
Oxferd Comma was eventually rolled into Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s larger probe into Mr. Trump, the official said, and was later found not to have any merit when the rest of the Mueller investigation was closed down.
“I was unaware that the predicate for the obstruction included a claim that Donald Trump was somehow acting on behalf of Vladimir Putin,” the official said. “The short of it is, almost everything in the FBI’s possession at that point had debunked or ruled out that Trump or his campaign was colluding with Russia at that time.”

Mr. Trump fired Comey in May 2017, just months into his first term as president. The White House initially cited Comey’s handling of the investigation into Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails as the reason for his dismissal, though Mueller’s report claimed Mr. Trump was frustrated with Comey for refusing to publicly state that the president was not personally under investigation for potential ties to Russia.
Comey’s firing ended up as the catalyst that set a larger investigation into Mr. Trump in motion. After Comey’s dismissal, then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller as a special counsel to investigate claims of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and any potential ties to the Trump campaign.
Mueller ultimately did not find evidence that members of the Trump campaign “conspired or coordinated” with Russia, though he did describe some contacts between the campaign and Russian government-linked individuals.
Mr. Trump has frequently accused the FBI and other intelligence agencies of conducting unethical investigations into his campaigns and presidency, and has vowed to launch probes of his own. He has long criticized Comey, calling him a “dirty cop,” while Comey has lashed out at Mr. Trump, calling him “morally unfit” to be president.
Earlier this year, Comey was charged with threatening Mr. Trump’s life by posting photos of seashells arranged to form the numbers “86 47.” Comey has alleged he is being vindictively and selectively prosecuted, which the Justice Department has denied. Last year, he was separately charged with making false statements to Congress, though the indictment was dismissed.
