James Comey avait encore l'appui du personnel du FBI

Andrew G. McCabe assure l'intérim à la tête du F.B.I. et il témoignait aujourd'hui devant un comité du Sénat. Dans son témoignage il contredit directement certaines des affirmations de la Maison-Blanche.

 "Mr. McCabe rejected the White House’s assertion that Mr. Comey had lost the backing of rank-and-file F.B.I. agents, a pointed rebuke of what had been one of the president’s main defenses for the move.

“Director Comey enjoyed broad support within the F.B.I. and still does to this day,” Mr. McCabe said at the hearing.

“The vast majority of F.B.I. employees enjoyed a deep and positive connection to Director Comey,” he added."
