Comey’s Friend Turns Over Ex-FBI Director’s Memos to Bureau
Former FBI Director James Comey’s potentially explosive memos about his encounters with President Trump are now in the hands of the bureau.
Former FBI Director James Comey’s potentially explosive memos about his encounters with President Trump are now in the hands of the bureau.
President Trump met with former FBI Director Robert Mueller to ask if he’d want to become the bureau’s top boss again, just a day or two before Mueller was appointed special counsel over the investigation into Russia meddling with the presidential election.
The deputy U.S. attorney general assured Congress on Tuesday that special counsel Robert Mueller would have “the full degree of independence” to investigate allegations of Russia interfering in the presidential election.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions dismissed allegations that he colluded with the Russian government as “an appalling and detestable lie” during testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was one of Donald Trump’s earliest supporters, defending the president’s populist agenda.
And so begins the inevitable attack on Robert Mueller, the former FBI director who has earned near unanimous praise for his integrity and fairness as the bureau’s top boss.
On Tuesday, members of the Senate Intelligence Committee need to pin Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions down about his role in the firing of FBI Director James B. Comey and other matters that remain murky.
Donald Trump’s suggestion that there were “tapes” of conversations between himself and then-FBI Director James Comey appears to be yet another fabrication of the beleaguered president.
