Developing now, Monday, April 16, 2018 Fired FBI Director James Comey calls President Trump ‘morally unfit to be president,’ defends his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation in new interview Trump was dissuaded from a more aggressive military strike against Syria by his newly-revamped national security team, according to one report The United States plans to announce new economic sanctions against Russia Monday for aiding the government of Syrian President Assad Former first lady Barbara Bush is in ‘failing health’ and will not seek additional medical treatment, a family spokesman said Sunday Jason Aldean took home Entertainer of the Year as the annual ACM Awards returned to Las Vegas six months after the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history THE LEAD STORY – COMEY’S MEDIA BLITZ BEGINS: In his first interview since being fired, former FBI Director James Comey defends his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation and described President Trump as an ego-driven liar who treats women like “meat” and is “morally unfit to be president” … During Sunday’s televised interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, Comey also weighed in on the salacious – and unverified – Russian dossier, as well as his reason for going public about the probe into Hillary Clinton’s private email server in the final days of the 2016 election.
