President Barack Obama criticized FBI director James Comey on Tuesday for sending a letter to Congress about the reopening of an investigation into new emails linked to the Hillary Clinton email server case.

“We don’t operate on incomplete information,” Obama told NowThis News, broadcast on Wednesday. “We don’t operate on leaks. We operate based on concrete decisions that are made.”

Obama didn’t mention Comey by name, but it was clear that he was referring to him.
