The former top lawyer of the FBI said senior bureau officials discussed the possibility in May 2017 that Trump had fired James Comey 'at the behest of' the Russian government
James Baker, the former top lawyer of the FBI, said senior bureau officials — including at least one deemed to be free of anti-Trump bias — discussed the possibility in May 2017 that President Donald Trump had fired James Comey "at the behest of" the Russian government.
"I wouldn't say ordered. I guess I would say ... acting at the behest of and somehow following directions, somehow executing their will," he said. "[A]nd so literally an order or not, I don't know." Baker's comments are also newly relevant as Attorney General William Barr prepares to release a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on links between Russian and Trump's 2016 campaign.
