Former AG Eric Holder: FBI Director James Comey made a "serious mistake"
- 7 years ago
Former Attorney General Eric Holder has written a scathing op-ed condemning FBI Director James Comey for his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.
"I fear he has unintentionally and negatively affected public trust in both the Justice Department and the FBI," Holder wrote in an op-ed in The Washington Post published late Sunday.
Holder said he was deeply concerned with the timing of the director's announcement, coming less than two weeks before the presidential election.
"That decision was incorrect.
It violated long-standing Justice Department policies and tradition," Holder wrote.
