Comey warns of Trump's 'bottomless desire' for revenge amid prosecution for seashells picture

Former FBI Director James Comey has warned of Donald Trump’s “bottomless desire” for revenge after he was indicted for a photo of seashells that the Department of Justice claims amounts to “making threats to harm” the president.

Comey, who became a fierce Trump critic after the president fired him during his first presidential term, spoke out Monday in his first interview since the latest indictment.

“Donald Trump has a bottomless desire to gain revenge against those who criticized him,” Comey told MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace. “There's a cost to speaking up in this strange era, awful era we're in now,” the former FBI director said. But, he insisted that he won’t stop criticizing Trump “because I think that's required if you care about America.”

The Independent has reached out to the White House for comment.

Comey needs to be making amends for that for the rest of his life.

I am old enough to remember when he put his thumb on the scale and helped Trump win.
