Part 4/9:
President Trump did not hold back in his response to Comey's post. In a segment on Fox News with Brett Baier, Trump accused Comey of knowing exactly what the numbers meant, stating, “If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant, that meant assassination." Trump labeled Comey as a “dirty cop,” suggesting that his past actions compromised his credibility.
The former president framed the incident not just as a personal attack on him but as a reflection of broader frustrations with Comey and the perceived repercussions of his previous tenure as FBI director. By emphasizing Comey’s connections with the Clintons and insinuating ulterior motives behind the post, Trump delivered a pointed criticism of a political adversary.
