President Trump, in a fiery interview with Fox & Friends, blasted former FBI Director James Comey as a “liar and a leaker” who is “guilty of crimes” — while issuing a stern warning to the Justice Department about the Russia probe.
Trump said he tries to “stay away” from the Justice Department’s affairs, “but at some point I won’t.”
He added: “I love the FBI and the FBI loves me. But the top people at the FBI were crooked.”
