Although President Trump has now stated and written that fired FBI Director James Comey told him on three separate occasions that he was not the subject of an investigation, sources cast doubt on that claim.
It would be out of character for Comey to have made that statement even once, much less three times, to the president, one law enforcement source told CBS News. Along with his firing, the source noted a high level of “interfering” in the Russia probe.
While Trump was babbling to NBC’s Lester Holt about what a bad hombre James Comey is, sources inside the FBI were spilling the beans about what is really going on inside the bureau as they try to investigate the Trump campaign for potential collusion with the Russian government during the 2016 election.
If he hadn’t before, Trump just made an enemy out of the FBI when he fired James Comey, and Democrats investigating the Russia scandal better pay attention because the FBI is blowing holes in every cover story that the Trump White House is coming up with.
