Reference News, July 10 report. According to AFP, on July 9, US President Trump said that the two "thorns in his eyes" - former FBI director James Comey and former CIA director John Brennan - both are under police investigation - are "villains," and he said they may be held accountable.
On the evening of August 8, Fox News reported that the FBI is investigating possible "improper conduct" by Comey and Brennan during the investigation into "Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election" and whether they may have given false testimony to Congress.
A spokesperson for the Department of Justice stated on July 9 that the Department of Justice "does not comment on ongoing investigations."
According to reports, on September 9, when asked by a reporter at the White House if he hoped to see the two people behind bars, Trump said: "Other than what I read today, I know nothing else."
"But I can tell you that these are two very dishonest people. I think they are total villains, and perhaps they will have to pay the price for it."
During Trump's first term (2017-2021), he brutally fired Comey in 2017 during the FBI's investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign.
In 2018, Trump revoked the security clearance of Brennan, who was the CIA director during Obama's administration, after Brennan had criticized those around Trump for "collusion" with Russia. (Translated by Lin Xiaoxuan)
