Trump Personal Attorney to File Formal Complaint With DOJ Against Comey

President’s Personal Attorney Made False Accusations Against Comey One Day Ago

President Donald Trump’s personal attorney will file a formal complaint against Jim Comey with the Justice Department Inspector General and the Senate Judiciary Committee over the memos he wrongly claimed the former FBI Director “leaked.”

“The complaint will focus on Comey’s testimony that he gave a friend the content of memos about his conversations with Trump and asked the friend to then give that information to a reporter,” CNN reports. “Comey said Friday that he gave the friend — later identified as Daniel Richman, a longtime Comey confidante and Columbia University professor — the information after Trump tweeted that he may have tapes of his conversations with the fired FBI director.”

The President’s personal attorney Marc Kasowitz, in a press conference at Washington, D.C.’s National Press Club during which he read a short statement that was filled with false statements and typos, accused Comey – falsely – of violating executive privilege, which the White House had previously stated it would not invoke.

Kasowitz also falsely claimed the New York Times published a report based on Comey’s memo before Comey had shared it, falsely accused Comey of “illegal” leaking, and appears to have falsely accused Comey of perjury, a felony – all while acting as Donald Trump’s representative.

Legal experts have already weighed in, stating Comey did nothing illegal by sharing the content of the memos he wrote.

Former prosecutor and Democratic U.S. Congressman Ted Lieu also weighed in:

President Trump early Friday morning responded to the sworn testimony of James Comey by falsely accusing the former FBI Director of perjury, a felony. The President also claimed “total and complete vindication.”
