Trump’s like Mafia ‘Don,’ says Comey
FORMER FBI Director James Comey apparently compares President Trump to a mob boss in a new ABC News interview that is set to air this weekend.
Comey, fired by Trump last May, has largely remained quiet about the President and his administration the past 11 months as he wrote a memoir that will be released Tuesday.
The interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, airing Sunday at 10 p.m. as part of a “20/20” special, is “going to shock the President and his team,” a source told Axios.
“How strange is it for you to sit here and compare the President to a mob boss?” Stephanopoulos asks the axed former bureau head in a promo released by the network.
He also asks whether Comey believes the President obstructed justice. Comey does not speak in the clip.
The interview will be followed by appearances on “The View,” CNN, MSNBC and Fox News in the coming week as Comey promotes his new book, “A Higher Loyalty.”
Comey’s dismissal paved the way for the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller, who is now overseeing the federal investigation into Russian election meddling and probing whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin to sway the contest in Trump’s favor.
