WASHINGTON (AP) Former FBI Director James Comey blasts President Donald Trump as unethical and untethered to truth and calls his leadership of the country ego driven and about personal loyalty in a forthcoming book.
Comey reveals new details about his interactions with Trump and his own decision-making in handling the Hillary Clinton email investigation before the 2016 election. He casts Trump as a mafia boss-like figure who sought to blur the line between law enforcement and politics and tried to pressure him regarding his investigation into Russian election interference.
The book adheres closely to Comeys public testimony and written statements about his contacts with the president during the early days of the administration and his growing concern about the presidents integrity. It also includes strikingly personal jabs at Trump that appear likely to irritate the president.
The 6-foot-8 Comey describes Trump as shorter than he expected with a too long tie and bright white half-moons under his eyes that he suggests came from tanning goggles. He also says he made a conscious effort to check the presidents hand size, saying it was smaller than mine, but did not seem unusually so.

(5,484 posts)He doesn't even have a nodding acquaintance with the truth.
He wouldn't recognize truth if it crawled up his dangling red tie and screamed in his face.
Truth is a total stranger to him.
Untethered, my ass!
