The former director of the FBI, James Comey, has been giving an extraordinary account of his dealings with President Trump in the weeks of months leading up to his sacking. Speaking under oath before the Senate Intelligence Committee, he said the administration had lied by claiming the FBI was in disarray and under poor leadership. Mr. Comey said he believed he had been fired to change the way the investigation into Russian interference in the presidential election was being conducted. And he said he had leaked an account of the conversations, because he hoped a special investigative council would be appointed.

FBI前局长科米(James Comey)讲述了其在被解雇前的一段时间里与特朗普之间的交涉。在面向参议院情报委员会提供宣誓证词时，科米表示，特朗普政府称FBI领导不力、已成一盘散沙的说法是一派胡言。科米还表示，他认为自己被解雇是因为他想改变关于俄罗斯干涉总统大选调查的方式。他还表示自己泄露了与特朗普谈话的部分内容，因为他希望能就此事设立一个特别的调查委员会。

Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, has rejected Mr. Comey’s allegations. Mr. Kasowitz told reporters that President Trump never told the FBI director that he expected loyalty from him, and he never stopped him from investigating anyone. Mr. Kasowitz suggested that Mr. Comey should be prosecuted for leaking privileged information.

特朗普私人律师马克 卡索维茨(Marc Kasowitz)否认了科米的指控。卡索维茨向记者表示，特朗普从未跟科米表露过希望其效忠于自己的想法，特朗普也从未阻止过科米调查任何人。卡索维茨表示，科米应该因泄露不该泄露的信息而受到起诉。

British researchers say it might be possible to develop an alternative to antibiotics for treating diseases in pigs, a process that could also overcome growing human drug resistance.
