Comey, the former FBI director who started the Russia investigation, expressed confusion over why special counsel Robert S. Mueller III didn’t conclude whether President Trump tried to obstruct justice.
Comey also weighed in on Holt’s now-famous 2017 interview with Trump soon after he was fired. In that conversation, Trump admitted to Holt that he had “this Russia thing” on his mind when he fired Comey. Some Republicans, including Trump ally and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey O. Graham , have suggested opening a congressional probe into the FBI’s handling of the Russia investigation.
