Donald Trump asserted on Thursday that James Comey nearly started a war by launching Crossfire Hurricane – the widescale and fruitless investigation into Russian collusion.
Trump also called Comey ‘one of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to’ after the FBI chief was indicted on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice.
‘Comey placed a cloud over the entire nation, and actually, the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax made it very difficult,’ Trump he told Fox News.
The president then added: ‘It could have caused wars.’
The charges for Comey were related to his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 30, 2020 over Crossfire Hurricane – the codename for the Trump-Russia investigation.
