Ex-director of the FBI James Komi believes that the reason for his dismissal from the post of head of the agency was a failure to testify to the unconditional loyalty to US President Donald Trump.

The New York Times writes about this, RIA Novosti reports..

It is noted that information familiar with the situation was shared with journalists.

According to Komi, the reason for his reluctance to him was a joint dinner, which took place at the White House in January just a week after the inauguration of the head of the White House.

So, during dinner, Trump allegedly several times asked the head of the FBI to confirm his loyalty, but in response, Komi stated that the president can count only on his "honesty".

In turn, the White House said that this information is not true. Trump himself in an interview with NBC also told about a joint dinner with the Komi, but without mentioning the conversation about loyalty.

Recall, on May 9, US President Donald Trump unexpectedly fired all FBI chief James Komi, who led the investigation into possible ties between the head of the White House and Russia. The head of the White House explained his decision by the inability of the Komi "to effectively manage" the Bureau.

The duties of the head of the FBI are temporarily performed by James McCabe, the deputy of the dismissed James Komi.

As reported by the "Observer", also became known for the names of candidates for the post of the new head of the FBI.
