Comey says he’s not going to stop criticizing Trump ahead of criminal trial
Comey said Trump is trying to punish critics and expects another indictment if the current case collapses.
- Former FBI Director James Comey warned Monday that the Department of Justice will likely indict him again if the current case fails, predicting President Donald Trump will persist in targeting perceived enemies.
- The DOJ indicted Comey last month for an Instagram photo of seashells forming '8647,' which officials claim is a threat; Comey argues the number '86' is restaurant lingo, not violence.
- A previous case alleging Comey lied to Congress was dismissed because the prosecutor was unlawfully appointed, marking the second recent indictment against the former director.
- Comey vowed to continue criticizing Trump, stating, "I'm not going to stop criticizing him, because I think that's required," despite his daughter's firing as a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York.
- Trump's administration has targeted other critics including New York Attorney General Letitia James and former National Security Advisor John Bolton, with Comey warning the president possesses a "bottomless desire" for revenge.
