US President Donald Trump resigned the director of the FBI James Komi. This is stated in a message published on the White House website. Komi headed the FBI investigation of the possible connections of the members of Trump's campaign headquarters with Russia.

It is emphasized that the president made such a decision on the recommendation of the Minister of Justice, Jeff Sessnes and his deputy clan Rosencetina. "The FBI is one of the most respected and important organizations of our nation, and today will be a new beginning for the main pride of our law enforcement system," Trump said.

In a letter, the president said that he could not cope with his duties, ABC News reports . “Although I am very grateful for the fact that you informed me three times under different circumstances, that I am not under investigation, nevertheless I agree with the assessment of the Ministry of Justice that you are not able to effectively head the bureau,” the document quoted the television channel.

As noted, the dismissal of Komi is associated with his investigation of violation of the rules of secrecy by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was stored in confidential official correspondence in personal, and not in the departmental account of e -mail. In the sentence of Seshns, sent by Trump, it is said that in July 2016 the Komi year “usurped” the prerogative of the previous prosecutor general, saying that the investigation against Clinton should be closed. In addition, the Komi was accused of publishing inaccurate information that caused the damage to Clinton's reputation.

Nevertheless, representatives of the Democratic Party immediately stated that Trump fired Komi in order to influence the investigation of the possible intervention of Russia in the election campaign. Six Democratic Senators sent a letter to the FBI and the Ministry of Justice with a request to "ensure the inviolability of this investigation. Senators also spoke out for the appointment of a special prosecutor who will lead him.

The head of the intelligence Congress Committee, Republican Senator Richard Burr, also expressed concern with the resignation of Komi. "I am concerned about the time and reasons for the dismissal of the director of the Komi. His removal will complicate the investigation by the committee, which is already difficult," Burr said.

On May 4, Komi at a hearing in the Law Committee of the US Senate said that Russia was still interfering in American politics. Senator Lindsay Graham, conducting his own investigation of Russia's influence on the US elections, asked Komi about what threat Russia pose. “Of course, in my opinion, the greatest threat among all countries on Earth, given its intentions and its possibilities,” the director of the FBI answered.

Komi noted that the investigation of Russian intervention in the election campaign continues, but did not disclose its details. “I think one of the lessons that the Russians could learn from this is working,” the FBI director said nevertheless. However, he categorically eliminated the direct influence of Russia on the process of voting.

On April 30, Trump called claims about the connections of his employees with Russia " a completely false history ." At the same time, the president accused the Clinton team of close contacts with Russia, in particular, the former head of the Democrats of the Democrats John Podest. "There is a pancreatic that, as I understand it, has a company in Russia with his brother. Hillary’s husband (former US President Bill Clinton. - Ed.) Makes up speeches in Russia. Hillary concluded a uranium deal with Russia. But no one even talks about it," the president said.

When asked if he believes in the intervention of Russia in the presidential election, Trump replied: "I do not know." “Even knowing something about hacking, if you do not catch a hacker, it is very difficult to say who carried out a hack,” the president noted. “Perhaps it was China, perhaps there were many different groups.”
