Comey back in the spotlight after Flynn makes a deal
Former FBI Director James Comey is back in the spotlight of the Russia investigation now that former national security adviser Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the bureau.
Lawmakers in Sunday television interviews across the networks were re-evaluating Comey's June Senate testimony accusing President Trump of asking him to drop the investigation into Flynn, with several guests indicating Comey might be able to answer additional questions.
Flynn, one of Trump’s former top aides and someone Comey investigated closely during his time leading the Russia investigation, is now cooperating with Robert Mueller’s special counsel probe.
Also on Sunday, Trump took to singling out his former FBI director in an early morning tweet. Trump said the bureau’s reputation has been damaged because of Comey.
"After years of Comey, with the phony and dishonest Clinton investigation (and more), running the FBI, its reputation is in Tatters - worst in History!” Trump wrote.
"I'd be careful if I were you, Mr. President. I'd watch this," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned about Trump targeting Comey during an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation."
