Acting FBI Director Testifies, Says Comey Enjoyed “Broad Support within the FBI”
Two days after his boss was abruptly fired by President Trump, the acting FBI Director testifies for a Senate panel.
FOX’s Jared Halpern has more on Capitol Hill:
During questioning from the Senate Intelligence Committee, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe offered contradictions on a couple of White House arguments about the firing of former director James Comey, including the administration’s view Comey lost the confidence of rank and file agents:
(McCabe) “Director Comey enjoyed broad support within the FBI and still does to this day.”
McCabe also characterized the investigation of possible contact between Russian officials and the Trump campaign as highly significant, contradicting a White House assessment.
