According to the US media reports, the FBI agent was suspended because they refused to participate in the “walk with the pen” of the former director of the Bureau James Komi.
The agent was suspended to disobedience, according to the BBC CBS news, after the agent discovered that the plan is inappropriate.
Mr. Komi was charged with Virginia on two federal charges a few days after Donald Trump called on law enforcement agencies to more aggressively investigate his political opponents, including the Mr. on Komi.
The leadership of the FBI discussed the sending of “large, muscular” agents in Kevlar vests in order to attract g -Komi to his court in Alexandria next week, CBS reports. Bi -B -s turned to the FBI.
During a walk in the part, law enforcement agencies publicly accompany the person accused of committing a crime, since he is transported outside the police station or court building, usually taking into account the media camera. Practice is common in high cases in the United States.
M -Komi is going to appear before the court on October 9 to be held accountable on charges of Congress lies and an obstacle to proceedings in Congress. This is when his accusations will be officially read to him in court.
Mr. Komi is Accused of lying in the Senate Committee in 2020 About whether he allowed a leak in the media classified information.
He led the FBI in a turbulent time, when the bureau investigated two high -profile questions: interference in the Trump elections in 2016 and the use of public secretary Hillary Clinton of a private postal server.
He denied criminal charges and said that “he was very sure of the federal judicial system.”

Trump fired Mr. Komi at the beginning of his first term of office in 2017, when the FBI investigated Russia's intervention, an investigation that later found that Trump’s campaign was not coordinated with the Kremlin in the elections. Mr. Komi was the goal of Trump's anger since then.
The accusations against Mr. Komi were charged just a few days before the five-year period of limitation and several days after The President appointed the new chief prosecutor in the region – Lindsay Halligan, who previously worked as a personal lawyer Trump.
Trump appointed Halligan after he expressed his disappointment that “nothing is done” to his political opponents. In a public post on social networks, he called on the American Prosecutor General Pam Bondi to investigate Mr. Komi, along with the general prosecutor New York Letitia James and the Democrat Senator Adam Schiff, who watched his first trial.
“We can no longer postpone it, it kills our reputation and trust,” Trump said in office.
It is unclear whether plans to attract Komi with FBI agents will move forward. According to reports, his lawyers planned to go with Mr. Komi in his presentation of the court – a more common step in non -violent criminal case.
Bi -B -s turned to his lawyers.
