White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said James Comey “will forever be known as a disgraced partisan hack” who betrayed the trust of the president. The remarks were made in response to a question about President Donald Trump ripping the fired former FBI director over his new book.
“Instead of being remembered as a dedicated servant in the pursuit of justice like so many other of his colleagues at the FBI,” Sanders said, “Comey will forever be known as a disgraced partisan hack who broke his sacred trust with the President of the United States, the dedicated agents at the FBI and the American people he vowed to faithfully serve.”
“One of the president’s greatest achievements will go down as firing Director James Comey,” she added.
President Trump took to Twitter earlier Friday morning to call Mr. Comey a “proven leaker” and an “untruthful slime ball.” He was fired and investigated for his mishandling of the Clinton email case, but wrote a questionable “tell all” book.
