CNN's Toobin calls Comey firing a 'grotesque abuse of power'
CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin blasted President Donald's Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday, calling it a "grotesque" abuse of power and questioning what kind of country the United States is.
"[This is] a grotesque abuse of power, by the president of the United States," Toobin, the network's senior legal analyst, said to Wolf Blitzer.
"This is the kind of thing that goes on in non-democracies," Toobin continued. "That when there is an investigation that reaches near the president of the United States, or the leader of a non-democracy, they fire the people who are in charge of the investigation.
The White House issued a press release on Tuesday saying that Comey had been terminated and removed from office.
