Donald Trump Admits He Was Looking For An Excuse To Fire James Comey
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump had already made up his mind to fire FBI Director James Comey long before Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote up a memo to justify the decision, the president said in an interview with NBC News on Thursday.
Trump?s team had repeatedly claimed that Rosenstein?s memo precipitated Comey?s firing. Hours after Trump fired Comey on Tuesday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer blamed Rosenstein for the FBI director?s dismissal. ?It was all him,? Spicer said, referring to Rosenstein.
But in an interview with Lester Holt on Thursday, the president revealed he?d made up his mind to fire Comey before he met with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Rosenstein on Monday.
?I was going to fire Comey, my decision,? Trump said. ?I was going to fire Comey,? he repeated, adding that there was no good time to fire someone. ?I was going to fire him regardless of recommendation. He made a recommendation, but regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey.?
