Ex-FBI chief James Comey blames White House of defaming him
He Said Trump Misguided The American Public When He Said The FBI Was In Disarray Last Month After His Firing.
Fired FBI Director James Comey on Thursday asserted that US President Donald Trump’s requests to stop probing the Russia ties of a former national security advisor as “very disturbing” and blamed the White House of defaming him.
He said Trump misguided the American public when he said the FBI was in disarray last month after his firing.
“Those were lies, plain and simple,” Comey said in his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
