President Trump voiced strong support for the newly launched Justice Department inquiries into James Comey and John Brennan, describing the two men as “crooked as h—.”
During an exchange with Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, Trump was asked whether he believed Comey and Brennan should be imprisoned.
“Well, I know nothing about it, other than what I read today, but I will tell you, I think they’re very dishonest people. I think they’re crooked as h—, and maybe they have to pay a price for that,” Trump said.
He continued by emphasizing his opinion of the two officials: “I believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people. So whatever happens, happens.”
Brennan, who led the CIA during President Barack Obama’s administration, is reportedly being investigated for potentially giving false testimony to Congress regarding the Steele dossier, which included unverified claims tying Trump to Russia.
Details surrounding the investigation into Comey remain vague. However, it’s known that he was questioned by the Secret Service in May after sharing an image online that some interpreted as threatening toward Trump.
Trump dismissed Comey from his position as FBI director in May 2017. While the official reasoning cited his handling of information related to Hillary Clinton during the campaign, many connected the dismissal to Trump’s frustration with the probe into alleged ties between his campaign and Russian officials.
