Standing ovations for James Comey in Sarasota as he slams Trump's leadership
Former FBI Director James Comey has a lot to say – on leadership, his disdain for President Donald Trump and plenty of other topics – and on Monday the self-described “semi-employed celebrity” spent more than an hour expounding on his views during an appearance in Sarasota, where he disputed Trump’s frequent assertion that the special counsel investigation is a “witch hunt.”
“It sure caught a lot of witches,” Comey said Monday during a press conference before a speech at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall as part of the Ringling College Library Association Town Hall lecture series.
Comey was fired by Trump on May 9, 2017 in one of the most consequential acts of Trump’s presidency.
The firing prompted Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosentein to appoint a special counsel to investigate potential ties between Trump’s campaign and Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election. It also prompted Comey to start speaking out about Trump, and to write a book titled “A Higher Loyalty.”
