Former FBI Director James Comey said Tuesday that former President Trump “is coming” for the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Comey was asked by MSNBC’s Alex Wagner what a second Trump term would mean for the FBI, which Comey led from 2013-17. Comey said Trump will be targeting both the FBI and the DOJ if elected to a second term in the White House.
“Serious for the Justice Department and the FBI, because Trump is coming for those institutions. He knows their power, and I think he has regrets that he didn’t work hard enough to corrupt them last time. So, he’s coming for them, and that’s a danger for all Americans,” he said on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight.”
“He’s going to put people in positions in those organizations. He didn’t have all-stars the last time; he’ll have the bottom of the barrel this time, but people who will want to do his will — and that should worry every American. This election matters because of a reason like that,” he added.
