Comey news
James Comey, the former FBI Director, has been in the news recently for several reasons. Here are some of the latest developments:
- Testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee: On September 30, 2020, Comey testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of an investigation into the FBI's handling of the 2016 presidential election. During the hearing, Comey defended the FBI's actions and denied any political bias.
- FBI's handling of the Clinton email investigation: Comey has been criticized for his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State. In July 2016, Comey announced that the FBI would not recommend charges against Clinton, but later revealed that he had sent a letter to Congress announcing the reopening of the investigation just 11 days before the presidential election.
- Trump's firing: In May 2017, President Trump fired Comey, citing the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation as a reason. Comey has since spoken publicly about his firing, saying that he believes Trump fired him because he was about to reveal that the FBI was investigating Trump's campaign for possible collusion with Russia.
- Book tour: Comey has been promoting his book, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership," which was released in April 2018. The book is a memoir that details his time at the FBI and his interactions with Trump.
- TV appearances: Comey has made several TV appearances in recent months, including on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and "60 Minutes." He has also been a guest on several podcasts, including "The Daily" and "Pod Save America."
- Russia investigation: Comey has been a key figure in the Russia investigation, which is ongoing. In July 2019, he testified before the House Intelligence Committee as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
- Whistleblower complaint: In September 2020, Comey was mentioned in a whistleblower complaint filed by a former CIA analyst who alleged that Trump had pressured the agency to stop investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election. The complaint was filed with the Intelligence Community Inspector General and was later declassified and released to the public.
