Comey says Biden DOJ should not prosecute Trump

Published



Former FBI Director James Comey said the Justice Department under President-elect Joe Biden’s attorney general should not open a criminal investigation into President Trump when he leaves office in a couple weeks.

Excerpts from the book, Saving Justice: Truth, Transparency, and Trust, were released Wednesday morning, shortly before reports emerged that Merrick Garland, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, will be Biden’s pick to lead the Justice Department when he takes office later this month.
