美国司法部已针对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米提起刑事诉讼，指控他在2016年的一起涉嫌泄密事件中，故意将国防信息泄露给无权接收该信息的人员。
联邦检察官已在华盛顿联邦地区法院提起了这份包含两项罪名的刑事诉讼，指控科米泄露国防信息，并合谋非法披露相关内容。
司法部表示，提起该诉讼是为了在诉讼时效到期前保留相关指控，目前调查仍在进行中。

“司法部提起了一份无需被告同意的刑事诉讼，以中断针对前联邦调查局局长科米相关指控的诉讼时效，”司法部一名发言人表示。
“在联邦法院中，通过提起刑事诉讼中断诉讼时效是广泛采用的做法，且已获得多个联邦巡回上诉法院的认可。目前这是一项正在进行的刑事调查，我们不会发表进一步评论。”
科米的律师已对该诉讼提出质疑。他们主张，检察官在未首先获得联邦大陪审团起诉书的情况下，无法推进案件。
美国地区法官特雷弗·麦克法登于10月9日召开了一场紧急、闭门听证会，此前科米的律师提出驳回案件并公开诉讼程序的请求。
麦克法登于2017年由唐纳德·特朗普总统任命至联邦法官职位，他批准了公开案件的请求，但尚未就科米的驳回动议作出裁决。

目前尚不清楚检察官何时或是否会寻求大陪审团的起诉书。
检察官指控，2016年10月5日左右，科米明知故犯，将与国防相关的信息泄露给无权接收该信息的人员。
科米在周一的Instagram帖子中否认有任何不当行为，称最新的诉讼是“对司法部的骇人听闻的滥用”。
“我没有任何变化。我仍然是无辜的。我不惧怕这些人。我仍然相信独立的联邦司法机构，”科米表示。
他补充说，他的家人和法律团队将“在法庭上挺身而出，为应对最新的诉讼以及此后可能出现的任何情况而抗争”。

The Justice Department filed a criminal information against former FBI Director James Comey over allegations that he willfully communicated national defense information to an unauthorized person in connection with an alleged 2016 disclosure.
Federal prosecutors filed the two-count criminal information in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging Comey communicated national defense information and conspired with others to unlawfully disclose it.
The Justice Department said that the filing was made to preserve the allegations before the statute of limitations expired as an investigation remains ongoing.

“The Department filed a waiverless criminal information to toll the statute of limitations as it relates to allegations concerning former FBI Director Comey,” a spokesperson for the DOJ said.
“Filing a criminal information to toll the statute of limitations is a widely recognized practice in federal court and has been approved by multiple Circuit Courts of Appeals. This is an ongoing criminal investigation, and we will not comment further.”
Comey’s attorneys have challenged the filing. They’ve argued that prosecutors cannot move forward with the case without first obtaining an indictment from a federal grand jury.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden held an emergency, closed-door hearing on Oct. 9 after Comey’s attorneys moved to dismiss the case and unseal the proceedings.
McFadden, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Donald Trump in 2017, granted the request to unseal the case but has not ruled on Comey’s motion to dismiss.

It remains unclear when or if prosecutors will seek an indictment from a grand jury.
Prosecutors allege that on or about Oct. 5, 2016, Comey knowingly and willfully communicated information related to the national defense to a person who was not entitled to receive it.
Comey denied wrongdoing in an Instagram post Monday, calling the latest action an “appalling abuse of the Department of Justice.”
“Nothing’s changed with me. I’m still innocent. I’m not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary,” Comey said.
He added that his family and legal team would “stand up in court and fight the latest and whatever comes after this.”
