Top staffers from Hillary Clinton’s campaign slammed President Trump’s dismissal of former FBI Director James Comey and said it was a sham that the administration is blaming it on a controversial July 2016 press conference.

Brian Fallon, Clinton’s press secretary during the campaign, said he still feels Comey’s handling of the Clinton email controversy was a “travesty.” But, to blame Comey’s dismissal on a press conference given in July 2016 — in which Comey detailed the FBI’s findings in the email investigation but said there would be no charges in the case — is a farce, he said.
