Trump directed a Twitter rant at former FBI director James Comey, accusing him of «many lies» and dismissing Comey as a «slimeball.»
President Trump stepped up his unrelenting Twitter rant at former FBI director James Comey on Sunday, accusing him of «many lies» and dismissing the one-time federal prosecutor as the WORST FBI director in history, by far!»
The attacks come hours before Comey’s interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos was scheduled to air Sunday night. The network has been promoting the interview with enticing bits of information, including Stephanopoulos revealing that Comey compares Trump to a “mob boss.”

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders also took on Comey on Sunday during an appearance on ABC’s This Week .
