Comey Fallout: Trump Warns Former FBI Chief Over Leaks

President Donald Trump on Friday warned James Comey, the former FBI director he fired this week, against leaking to the media as he once again sought to put the problem of leaks to the forefront instead of the counterintelligence investigation into possible coordination between his campaign and Russia.

“James Comey better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!” the President wrote in one of a series of early morning tweets on Friday.
