CNN will host a town hall with former FBI Director James Comey on the two-year anniversary of his firing by President Trump, the network announced Wednesday.
The event will be hosted by Anderson Cooper and will air May 9 at 8 p.m., according to CNN.
Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017, citing the former FBI director's management of the investigation into former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.
Comey's firing ultimately led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. The firing was one "episode" probed by Mueller in his investigation into whether Trump obstructed justice.
Mueller neither concluded that Trump committed obstruction nor exonerated him on the matter. Attorney General William Barr said at a press conference ahead of the release of Mueller's report that he and outgoing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined there was not sufficient evidence to establish such charges.
Comey has been a frequent critic of Trump's since his termination. On Wednesday, he wrote an op-ed in The New York Times that said Trump's "amoral" leadership is revealing Barr's "character."
"Trump eats your soul in small bites," he wrote.
Comey sparked backlash in 2016 when he announced less than two weeks before the presidential election that the FBI was investigating more emails that could be linked to Clinton's private server. Clinton later said she believed the move cost her the presidency.
Comey served as FBI director from July 2013 until his ouster in May 2017.
Stupid and worse.
Trump firing him turned him into a celebrity.
If Comey weren’t a bootlicking toady of the Clintons, he would not have been offered a one hour platform to spew his Trump hatred.
CNN’s never on the right side... Comey’s going down in history as a fool.
If Comey’s lawyer hasn’t advised him to shut up Comey should fire him.
Comey is about to meet the justice he deserves.... this party is about to end.
hillary stupidly speaking out last week and comey going on tv with this ... they live in denial.. completely ignoring what they have done and about to answer for. They live in that bubble called “elite” and they can do anything they want... so they think.
Be great to have US Marshals walk him off in handcuffs, ten minutes in, eh?
No, it didn’t.
Cardinal Comey is only a celebrity in the eyes of CNNMSNBCFNCABCNBCCBS.
His little cringe fest will do nothing to move the needle.
We are witnessing a brave new world of a totally politicized media that has tossed all boundaries
I’ve lived six decades to see this
It’s remarkable but it’s bad for a Republic
Hillary’s foolishness the other day was straight out of Alinsky—always accuse your enemy of whatever you’re doing.
These people have never generated a single original thought in the entire wretched, worthless little lives.
Fake news being fake news.
The Democratic Media Complex disregarded objectivity decades ago but it’s becoming increasingly blatant.
I’ve been watching the news since the mid 60s
It ain’t never been like this
The blatant disrespect and pseudo events like that guy who wrote that book back then
You can bet the ClintonNewsNetwork will be seeking lengthy worshipful interviews of this traitor when he is firmly invarverated for his crimes.
Mr. Comey, how many years do you think you will serve in jail for what youve done? Ill sit down and listen to your answer. lol
Comey thinks he’s untouchable and that will be his downfall.
Oh look! CNN has a new toy! Creepy porn lawyer has been replaced by a new guy
Use a SWAT team, like Mewler's people did on Roger Stone and his wife in her nightgown.
CNN watching its own back. Comey watching the FakeNewsCNN back. time to move on these coup plotters.
CNN is the best place to showcase Cardinal Comey. It ensures no one will have to listen to his fabrications.
But, it gives Team Trump a genuine treasure trove of fun and useful sound bites.
CNN’s viewership just dropped *26%*.
They keep track using an occasional show of hands.
