‘It’s not about revenge,’ Trump claims as lawmakers raise alarm over ‘blatant abuse’ of justice department – key US politics stories from Friday 26 September
Donald Trump has denied the indictment of former FBI director James Comey is part of a campaign of retribution against his political opponents.
The US president told reporters on Friday: “It’s about justice, it’s not about revenge. He didn’t think he’d be caught, and he got caught,” Trump said, referring to the former FBI director he fired in 2017. “He lied. He lied a lot,” the president claimed.
