Statement from the Press Secretary

[mrclose]

Today, President Donald J. Trump informed FBI Director James Comey that he has been terminated and removed from office.  President Trump acted based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

“The FBI is one of our Nation’s most cherished and respected institutions and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement,” said President Trump.

A search for a new permanent FBI Director will begin immediately.

Mr. Comey learned that he had been fired while he was addressing a group of F.B.I. employees in Los Angeles. While Mr. Comey spoke, television screens in the background began flashing the news.
