newYou can now listen to Fox News!
Fox News has learned that the former FBI director James Komei was accused by a major jury of two false statements within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch and an obstruction of congress procedures.
According to what was reported, Komei will hand over himself on Friday and be simulated at 10 am on October 9, in Alexandria Hall 600 before the Joj Michael S. Nachmanov.
Exclusively Fox News Digital said in July that Komei was undergoing criminal investigation by the FBI. Kumi’s investigation focused on whether he was lying to Congress during September 30, 2020, a testimony about his dealings with the Trump -Russia probe at the FBI, known within the office as “Hurricane Launch”.
Public Prosecutor Bam Bondi said on X.

The FBI director, Cash Patel, took to X to say, “Today, the FBI took another step in its promise to fully accountable.”
“For a very long time, the previous corrupt leadership and its empowerment factors are the federal law enforcement weapon, destroying institutions that were proud one day and the public’s confidence is strongly eroded,” Patel wrote. “Every day, we continue the battle for this confidence, and under my leadership, the FBI will face this problem face to face. This politicization of law enforcement was not strict than Russia’s trick, a shameful separation in history, we continue to investigate and reveal.
“Everyone, especially those in power positions, will be considered at the expense – regardless of their body.”
The indictment claims that Komei hindered an investigation into Congress in revealing sensitive information in violation of 18 USC 1505.
The indictment also claims that Komei made a false statement when he stated that a person at the FBI was authorized to be an unknown source. According to the indictment, this statement was wrong.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, Kumi admitted that he and his family were “known for years that there are costs to stand against President Donald Trump.
“We were unable to imagine ourselves in any other way,” he said. “We will not live on our knees and you should not.”
“My heart is broken to the Ministry of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system and I am innocent. So let’s get a trial and keep faith.”
Fox News Digital exclusively stated that former CIA director John Brennan is subject to a criminal investigation related to the Trump -Russia probe.
Under Federal Law, a five -year -old prosecutor has a charge with a five -year mark on Tuesday.
The case is dealt with by the US Prosecutor’s Office for the Eastern Region in Virginia.
“Justice in America!” President Trump has actually published in his social account. “One of the worst human beings to this country is James Kumi, former corrupt president of the Federal Investigation Office. A major jury accused him of a felony for various illegal and illegal work.
“It has been very bad for our country, for a long time, and he is now at the beginning of responsibility for his crimes against our nation. Make America great again!”
The FBI opened the Trump probe Russia in July 2016, known within the office as “Crossfire”.
During his first term, President Trump launched Kumi in May 2017.
Days later, Robert Muller was appointed as a special advisor to seize the original FBI “Crossfire Hurricane”.
Nearly two years later, the investigation of former Special Adviser Robert Muller, who ended in March 2019, did not have any evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 presidential elections.
Soon after, John Durham was appointed as a special consultant to investigate the assets of “Crossfire Hurricane”.
Durham found that the FBI “failed to act” on a “clear warning mark” that the office was a “target” of efforts led by Clinton “to manipulate or influence law enforcement for political purposes” before the 2016 presidential elections.

“The facts mentioned above reflects an amazing failure and cannot be explained in sufficient consideration and the intelligence of Clinton’s intelligence in making decisions to investigate the FBI to investigate a major hurricane,” says Durham’s report.

“In fact, if the FBI investigate Crossfire as an evaluation, and in turn, the data is collected and analyzed in coordination with the information from the intelligence of the Clinton Plan, it is possible that the information received, at least, will be examined with a more important eye,” the report continued.

Durham said, in his report, that the FBI “failed to act on what would have been – when it was associated with other indisputable facts – a clear warning sign that the FBI may be a target of an effort to manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes during the 2016 presidential elections.”
