Comey Blasts GOP, ‘Lying’ Trump: ‘At Some Point Someone Has to Stand Up’
Former FBI Director James Comey went after President Donald Trump and Republican members of Congress on Monday after emerging from a closed-door interview with House members, accusing the GOP of “shameful” silence in the face of the president’s attacks on the FBI.
“People who know better, including Republican members of this body, have to have the courage to stand up and speak the truth, not be cowed by mean tweets or fear of their base,” Comey told reporters. “There is a truth, and they’re not telling it. Their silence is shameful.”
He later added: “Some day they’ve got to explain to their grandchildren what they did today.”
