FBI workers back Comey

FIRED FBI Director James Comey was highly respected and trusted within the bureau during his nearly four-year tenure, according to internal survey results released yesterday.

The data detailing bureau attitudes about its leader contradict White House assertions that Mr Comey, fired by President Donald Trump in May, had lost the confidence of the bureau’s rank and file.

When asked if Mr Comey had “a positive impact on my morale”, a majority of survey respondents gave the director high marks.
