Former FBI Director James Comey, a vocal critic of Donald Trump after he was dismissed from his post in 2017, had a short and simple response to the groundbreaking news that the former president is to be indicted. 'It's been a good day,' Comey tweeted.
DONALD TRUMP INDICTED: EX-PRESIDENT TO HAVE FINGERPRINTING AND MUGSHOT
The indictment marks the first time a former U.S. president has been criminally charged, setting the stage for what could be an unprecedented trial as Trump seeks a return to the White House in 2024. The indictment comes days after reports emerged that criminal charges could be forthcoming, drawing pushback from several GOP lawmakers and Trump's close allies.
Comey was director of the FBI from 2013 until Trump fired him in May 2017. The Trump administration said at the time that Comey was let go because of his handling of the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton's unauthorized private email server, particularly when he recommended in July 2016 that no charges should be brought against the former secretary of state.
