Trump accuses DOJ of 'total bias and corruption' after latest Comey testimony

“It is being reported that Leakin' James Comey was told by Department of Justice attorneys not to answer the most important questions,” Trump tweeted. “Total bias and corruption at the highest levels of previous Administration. Force him to answer the questions under oath!”

Lawmakers in the room with Comey said the former FBI director declined to answer some questions on the advice of FBI counsel. That move left some Republicans frustrated.

“The FBI, for understandable reasons, doesn't want me talking about the details of the investigation that is still ongoing, it began when I was FBI director,” Comey told reporters on Friday. “So it makes sense that they don't want me to go into those details.”

He said that line of questioning did not comprise the majority of the interview, which he said focused on his handling of the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.
