The public feud between President Trump and former FBI Director James Comey, whom Trump fired last year, sparking allegations of “obstruction of justice,” has reignited after Comey gave an interview to ABC News in which he suggested “it’s possible” that Trump was “with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow.” In response, Trump unloaded on Comey on Twitter, declaring that he “should be prosecuted” for leaking classified information to the press.
Trump is referencing a revelation that came during Comey’s testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee in June 2017, just weeks after he was fired by Trump because of his botched handling of the Hillary Clinton investigation. Comey told the committee that he had given memos he had written while serving as FBI director to his friend, a law professor at Columbia University, so he could leak it to the media for the express purpose of creating pressure to create a special prosecutor for the Russia allegations, which turned out to be Robert Mueller.
