■ Values matter. This President does not reflect the values of this country. The challenge of this President is that he will stain everyone around him. James Comey,

Washington, April 16: Fired former FBI chief James Comey lashed out at Donald Trump in an interview with ABC broadcast Sunday, calling him “morally unfit” to be president and describing him as a serial liar who will “stain everyone around him.”

Comey’s remarks are the latest salvo in a war of words with Trump, who excoriated the former FBI director on Twitter earlier in the day, again calling him a “slimeball” and suggesting he should be jailed.

“I never asked Comey for Personal Loyalty. I hardly even knew this guy. Just another of his many lies. His ‘ memos’ are self serving and FAKE!” Mr Trump said in one of a series of tweets fired off Sunday before the interview.
