President of the United States Donald Trump put himself at risk of impeachment, having dismissed the head of the FBI James Komi.

This was stated by German political scientist, senior researcher of the Institute for Euro-Atlantic Cooperation in Kiev Andreas Umland website "Apostrof".

The expert stressed that this resignation aroused many questions, since Komi was investigating possible ties between the US president and the Kremlin.

"I think that Trump here has driven himself into a dead end, because the American public and even the Republican Party will not accept that the Komi will be replaced by a Trump man who will defend the president. I think that now the mood is such that it is necessary to bring this investigation to the end, "he said..

Umland predicted that, at best, for Trump, the scandal would end with a deep investigation of his relations with the Kremlin and an assessment "that will be perceived as independent, but not too revealing for the president".

However, the German political scientist did not rule out the likelihood of early withdrawal of the US president from his post.

"This is quite possible. If the investigation continues, which will be perceived as non-manipulated by Trump, he can avoid impeachment. If he gets the impression that he is trying to influence the investigation, he may indeed be threatened with rather impeachment, "Umland said..

"Maybe he is so afraid of the results of the investigation that he will do something to stop it," the expert suggested..

As reported by the "Observer", on May 9, US President Donald Trump unexpectedly fired the head of the FBI, 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.

Later, the names of candidates for the post of the new head of the FBI.
