The United States President Donald Trump has sack the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) James Comey.



Trump, in a letter to Comey, said he appreciated the sacked FBI chief “for informing me on three different occasions that I am not under investigation.


“Dear Director Comey: I have the recently attached letters from the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General of the United States recommending your dismissal as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.



“I have accepted their recommendation and you are hereby terminated and removed from office effective immediately.



“While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the bureau.



“It is essential that we find new leadership for the FBI that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission.



“I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours,” Trump said in a letter dated Tuesday to Comey.



In a statement issued by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, the President said Comey’s sack was with immediate effect.



“Today, President Donald J. Trump informed FBI Director James Comey that he has been terminated and removed from office.



“President Trump acted based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.



“The FBI is one of our Nation’s most cherished and respected institutions and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement.”



Trump said a search for a new permanent FBI Director will begin immediately.



Comey has come under fire from Democrats since Oct. 28, 2016, when he sent a letter reviewing the emails of the Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, two weeks before the presidential election.



The Democrats have also continued to criticize Comey for not indicting Trump over his possible links to Russia.



Trump’s Republicans on the other hand, criticized him for not carrying out criminal prosecution against Clinton.



Comey appeared on Monday before the Senate Committee investigating the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

DT will not serve a full term I can swear with the flat head of my yheebo Asian developers from the East

This is a move by Trump to disrupt the Russia probe,
the new FBI Director will be recruited for one purpose,
that is to shield Trump from investigation and go after his
enemies.
But with the US robust check and balances, I expect
this like most of Trump's plan to fail.

Is Hillary Clinton a saint?

Yes na! The man deserve it.

While here in Nigeria, some "educated human(?) beings" are telling us the security implications of investigating into some suspected illicit activities of the NIA boss.

To these pathetic creatures, USA is always right while Nigeria is always wrong.

Tell me about incurable chronic inferiority complex.
