How former FBI chief moved to top of Trump's enemies list
The Guardian
|September 27, 2025
Donald Trump’s long public campaign to get someone in his administration to bring criminal charges against James Comey, the former FBI director he fired in 2017, finally succeeded on Thursday.
-
But the president has been so public about his loathing of the indicted man, and his desire to see him jailed, that it may be hard for prosecutors to convince a jury that the case was not brought for political reasons.
Comey was fired by Trump in 2017 after he reportedly refused a request to pledge his loyalty to the newly elected president, and then publicly confirmed to Congress that the FBI was investigating Russian efforts to help Trump get elected in 2016.
Comey’s sacking backfired, however, because it helped convince the then deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, to appoint the former FBI director Robert Mueller to “oversee the previously confirmed FBI investigation of Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and related matters”.
