- 案件因特朗普盟友的任命无效被驳回
- 司法部辩称法院对任命法存在误读
- 特朗普呼吁对科米和詹姆斯提起公诉
弗吉尼亚州里士满9月15日电（路透社）——美国上诉法院将于周二审理司法部提出的申请，要求重启针对唐纳德·特朗普总统长期政敌——前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米和纽约州总检察长莉蒂夏·詹姆斯的刑事案件。
司法部将敦促法院推翻去年一名法官驳回两起案件的裁决，理由是提起诉讼的检察官、特朗普盟友林赛·哈利根的任命不符合法律规定。

对科米和詹姆斯的起诉是特朗普政府利用联邦执法机构打击 perceived 政治对手的最引人注目的案例之一，在司法部内部引发了动荡。
但周二在位于弗吉尼亚州里士满的美国第四巡回上诉法院的辩论可能会聚焦于一个更具体的问题：前司法部长帕姆·邦迪是否有权任命哈利根担任弗吉尼亚东区临时美国检察官，以审理这些案件。
美国地区法官卡梅伦·麦高恩·柯里在2025年11月裁定，哈利根为期120天的临时任职任命违反了一项关于如何填补美国检察官空缺的联邦法律。法官认定，由于哈利根——曾是特朗普的私人律师，此前没有公诉经验——独自获得了两项起诉书，因此两起案件都必须被驳回。

科米随后在另一项联邦案件中被指控，罪名是在社交媒体帖子中威胁特朗普，帖子显示海滩上的贝壳排列成数字“86-47”。该案件目前仍在审理中。
关于任命权限的法律辩论
司法部律师已敦促上诉法院驳回柯里对法律的解读，辩称这会错误地限制总检察长任命临时美国检察官领导全美94个联邦检察官办公室的权力。
科米和詹姆斯的律师辩称，司法部的立场实际上将允许总统无限期保留忠诚的临时美国检察官，规避参议院对这些官员的任命批准权。
对詹姆斯和科米的起诉是在特朗普2025年9月的一篇社交媒体帖子中点名两人，要求时任司法部长邦迪对他的政敌采取行动后提起的。

特朗普与科米、詹姆斯的过往纠葛
特朗普在第一任期内解雇了科米的联邦调查局局长职务，当时科米正在调查特朗普2016年总统竞选团队与俄罗斯之间的潜在关联。詹姆斯在特朗普第一任期结束后成功起诉特朗普及其家族企业欺诈。
对科米的起诉书指控他，打开新标签页，就授权向媒体泄露信息向国会撒谎。詹姆斯则被指控银行欺诈，罪名是谎称自己使用弗吉尼亚州一处住宅的情况。
两人均否认有不当行为，并声称他们是特朗普报复行动的目标，遭到了报复性起诉。
在两起案件因哈利根的任命问题被驳回时，法院尚未就这些抗辩作出裁决。

US appeals court to hear DOJ bid to revive cases against Trump foes Comey, James

Former U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey arrives to give closed-door testimony to the House Oversight and House Judiciary committees, as part of their probes into Comey’s 2016 handling of the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email use, on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S….

- Cases were dismissed over Trump ally’s invalid appointment
- DOJ argues court misinterpreted appointments law
- Trump called for Comey and James to face prosecution
RICHMOND, Virginia, Sept 15 (Reuters) – A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday will consider the Justice Department’s bid to revive criminal cases against two of President Donald Trump’s longtime adversaries, former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The Justice Department is set to urge the court to reverse a judge’s order tossing out both cases last year on the grounds that the prosecutor who brought them, Trump ally Lindsey Halligan, was not lawfully appointed.

The prosecutions of Comey and James were among the most high-profile instances of the Trump administration using federal law enforcement to target perceived political enemies and generated upheaval inside the Justice Department.
But the arguments on Tuesday at the Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals are likely to focus on the narrower issue of whether former Attorney General Pam Bondi had the authority to appoint Halligan as interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia to prosecute the cases.
U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie concluded in November 2025 that Halligan’s appointment to a 120-day interim stint violated a federal law governing how U.S. Attorney vacancies can be filled. The judge determined that both cases had to be tossed because Halligan, a former personal lawyer to Trump with no prior prosecutorial experience, secured both indictments by herself.

Comey has since been charged in a separate federal case accusing him of threatening Trump in a social media post showing seashells on a beach arranged to form the numbers “86-47.” That case is continuing.
LEGAL ARGUMENTS OVER APPOINTMENT AUTHORITY
Justice Department lawyers have urged the appeals court to reject Currie’s interpretation of the law, arguing it would wrongly limit the attorney general’s ability to name interim U.S. Attorneys to lead 94 federal prosecutors’ offices across the U.S.
Lawyers for Comey and James argued that the DOJ’s position would effectively allow the president to keep loyalist interim U.S. Attorneys in place indefinitely, evading the Senate’s authority to approve those officials.
The prosecutions of James and Comey were brought after Trump mentioned both by name in a September 2025 social media post demanding that Bondi, who was then attorney general, take action against his adversaries.

TRUMP’S HISTORY WITH COMEY AND JAMES
Trump fired Comey as FBI director during his first term as Comey was overseeing an investigation into potential ties between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia. James successfully sued Trump and his family business for fraud following his first term.
The indictment against Comey accused him, opens new tab of lying to Congress about authorizing leaks to the news media. James was charged with bank fraud for allegedly misrepresenting her use of a Virginia home.
Both denied wrongdoing and alleged they were targeted with vindictive prosecutions as part of a Trump retribution campaign.
Courts had not yet resolved those arguments at the time both cases were dismissed based on Halligan’s appointment.
