Trump breaks his Twitter silence on Comey:False statements and lies, total and complete vindication

[BigBearJohn]

The president had been expected to tweet during the former FBI director’s testimony Thursday, but instead his social media account went silent for nearly 48 hours.

Trump’s attorney issued a statement claiming Comey’s testimony proved the president was not under investigation, although the former FBI director promised to go into more detail with senators in a private session.

The president characterized the FBI director he fired as a liar, but he also claimed Comey’s testimony had vindicated his own assertions.
