Even Fox News stars are breaking with Trump over Comey: ‘I don’t think there’s a case’
Fox News star responds to ex-FBI director’s indictment
- President Trump's Justice Department sought the indictment of James Comey, the ex-FBI director, on charges of making a false statement to Congress and obstructing proceedings.
- The charges relate to Comey's 2020 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee concerning the FBI's investigation into alleged ties between Trump and Russia.
- Fox News legal expert Andrew McCarthy expressed doubt about the case's credibility, arguing the indictment is based on the false premise that Comey authorised a leak.
- McCarthy clarified that ex-FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe informed Comey about a leak to The Wall Street Journal after it occurred, rather than Comey authorising it beforehand.
- Pundit Howard Kurtz suggested the indictment was orchestrated by President Trump, noting the replacement of a US attorney to ensure the case was brought forward.
