Fired FBI Director James Comey's new book is filled with harsh criticisms of the Trump administration and even delves into the marriage between Donald and Melania Trump.
In one part of A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, Comey revealed that the president asked him to investigate allegations by Russian prostitutes in a controversial dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele. Comey said that Trump only cared about disproving the allegations because he did not want Melania to think they were true.
“He brought up what he called the ‘golden showers thing’ . . . adding that it bothered him if there was ‘even a 1 percent chance’ his wife, Melania, thought it was true.”
Comey then used the story to attack Trump's marriage with Melania.
"In what kind of marriage, to what kind of man, does a spouse conclude there is only a 99 percent chance her husband didn’t do that?"
Comey compared working with the Trump administration to his "earlier career as a prosecutor against the Mob."
"The silent circle of assent. The boss in complete control. The loyalty oaths. The us-versus-them worldview," Comey reportedly wrote. "The lying about all things, large and small, in service to some code of loyalty that put the organization above morality and above the truth."
President Trump fired back at Comey in two tweets on Friday morning. He called him a "proven LEAKER & LIAR," who was "a terrible Director of the FBI."
James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH. He is a weak and.....
....untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down as one of the worst “botch jobs” of history. It was my great honor to fire James Comey!
A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership will be released on April 17th.
