联邦调查局无视司法部警告宣布重新调查希拉里电邮门

The reopening of an FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's email has raised questions about whether the action could influence the U.S. presidential election.

美国联邦调查局重新开始调查希拉里·克林顿(Hillary Clinton)的电子邮件，这引发了人们对该行动是否会影响美国总统选举的质疑。

Last week, FBI Director James Comey announced the agency was reviewing a new set of emails recently discovered. The emails could be important to an investigation into Clinton's email practices that was closed earlier this year. Hillary Clinton is the Democratic candidate for president.

上周，联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米(James Comey)宣布该机构正在检查最近发现的一系列新的电子邮件。这些电子邮件可能对今年早些时候结束的希拉里电邮门调查非常重要。希拉里是民主党总统候选人。

The FBI director reportedly acted on his own to announce the reopened investigation, after being warned by officials at the U.S. Department of Justice not to. The officials reportedly told Comey that informing Congress about the new material was not in line with department policy.

据报道，联邦调查局局长科米无视司法部警告自作主张宣布重新开始调查。据报道，司法部官员告诉科米，向国会通报这些新材料不符合部门政策。

The incident raises questions about the relationship between the Justice Department and FBI, and how the two agencies cooperate. The FBI generally conducts investigations for the Justice Department, which is responsible for enforcing the laws and administering justice.

这起事件引发了人们对司法部和联邦调查局之间的关系以及这两家机构如何合作的质疑。联邦调查局一般为司法部进行调查，司法部负责执法和司法。

Beginnings in 1908
