When asked about impeaching Trump, the former FBI director answered “as a citizen, I hope not because I think the American people would be let off the hook."
WASHINGTON — Former FBI director James Comey said in a radio interview Tuesday that he hopes President Donald Trump is not impeached because it means American voters would be “let off the hook.”
“A lot of his supporters would think some kind of coup had taken place," Comey said during the interview with California radio station KCRA."We need to take responsibility for this and vote next November, and show we have a certain set of values and we insist that our leaders reflect those values." His comments come as House Democrats mull launching impeachment proceedings against Trump after several days of news related to a call the president had with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky. Multiple media outlets have reported that Trump asked Zelensky to look into allegations about the Biden family, specifically the former vice president's son.
Additionally, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., tweeted Tuesday that the whistleblower behind the report would “like to speak to our committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI as to how to do so. We‘re in touch with counsel and look forward to the whistleblower’s testimony as soon as this week.”
