Comey: Trump peddling 'dumb lies'
By Morgan Chalfant - 05/28/19 06:25 PM EDT
Former FBI Director James Comey is accusing President Trump of peddling “dumb lies†by asserting that bureau officials engaged in “treason†against him by investigating links between Russia and his campaign.
In a Washington Post op-ed, Comey, a frequent critic of Trump, brands the president “a liar†and argues for the need to call him out for what the former FBI director calls Trump’s baseless rants about “treason and corruption†at the FBI.
Comey also declares that the FBI did not “spy†on Trump’s or any other presidential campaign — a dig at Attorney General William Barr, who said last month that he believed Trump’s campaign was spied on and that he was reviewing the origins of the investigation to determine whether intelligence collection was adequately predicated.
