President Donald Trump called the former director of the FBI, James Comey, a “proven leaker and liar” and a “weak and untruthful slime ball” in a Friday morning tweet, less than a day after the release of excerpts from Comey’s upcoming book.
“James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH.”
