COMEY SPEAKS TO THE PRESS
Former FBI Director James Comey is one of the people questioning why special counsel Robert Mueller didn't make a determination on whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice.Mueller, Comey's predecessor as head of the FBI, was appointed to lead a special counsel investigation in the wake of Comey's firing, and a portion of the probe was dedicated to investigating if Trump had committed obstruction of justice.In the interview, Comey said he did not know ahead of the report's conclusion how it would weigh in on the question of potential coordination with Russia, but was glad that Mueller was able to finish the investigation, reassuring the US' conclusion that Russia interfered with the 2016 election and that "the evidence didn't establish that any Americans conspired as part of that effort."
"That should be good news no matter what party you're associated with," Comey added. He also used the appearance to defend the FBI, saying the investigation's conclusion should show "the FBI is not corrupt.
"The FBI did what was absolutely necessary" he said later in the interview.
