Fired FBI Director James Comey kicked off the most watched political testimony in years by blasting the ‘lies’ told after President sacked him, blasting an administration he says chose to ‘demean’ him.
In his opening comments, he called out ‘shifting explanations’ that followed his firing, and specifically pointed to Trump’s televised comment that he fired Comey because of the FBI’s Russia investigation.
‘The administration then chose to demean me and more importantly the FBI,’ Comey complained at the top of his remarks.
‘Those were lies, plain and simple,’ he said.
He said he kept detailed records of his interactions with the president because he was ‘honestly concerned that [Trump] might lie about the nature of our meeting.’
It was a contrast to the reviews he got from the president while he was in office. ‘He had repeatedly told me I was doing a great job and he hoped I would stay.
In an early revelation, Comey stopped short of describing a conversation where Trump asked him to let go of an investigation into fired national security advisor Mike Flynn as obstruction of justice, which is a federal crime.
