The president's draft was scrapped by White House legal counsel. In the days before President Donald Trump fired James Comey as FBI director -- one of the most defining moments of his presidency -- Trump penned a scathing letter to Comey that has never been publicly released. In fact, the four-page letter was never even sent to Comey because White House lawyers quickly determined it should never see the "light of day," Special Counsel Robert Mueller later recounted. Mueller reviewed the May 2017 letter as part of his wide-ranging investigation and mentioned parts of it in his final report, but...

Fired FBI director James Comey has said Donald Trump 'should be in jail' for the riot inside the Capitol but said that Joe Biden should consider pardoning him.

A Manhattan federal judge on Tuesday ordered that a former New York City accountant who admitted to scoping out the New York Stock Exchange for al Qaeda be released early from his 18-year prison sentence.

Wood, who sentenced Hasanoff in 2013, cited evidence he was the only available caregiver for his mother, who is in poor health, and his “striking and unique efforts” to rehabilitate...

"These people should be...
