.camanpour: 'Do you ever think that you might be responsible for the election of President Trump? Does that keep you up at night?' Former FBI Director James Comey: 'Sure. I hope some day somebody proves that what we did was irrelevant.'
Washington Former FBI Director James Comey said Tuesday that Attorney General William Barr deserves"the benefit of the doubt" when it comes to transparency about the special counsel investigation.
"Bill Barr, our attorney general, deserves the benefit of the doubt," Comey told CNN's Christiane Amanpour."Give him a chance to show us what he feels like he can't show us. I have to imagine that former Mueller wrote the report with an eye towards it being public some day, so I can't imagine a lot needs to be cut out of it. But let's wait and see. The attorney general deserves that chance.
