Trump responded Monday morning with a fierce tweet, lashing out at Comey as well as former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
"Comey drafted the Crooked Hillary exoneration long before he talked to her (lied in Congress to Senator G), then based his decisions on her poll numbers. Disgruntled, he, McCabe, and the others, committed many crimes!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
The president's Monday tweet was only one of many has posted against Comey in the recent past.
"James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH," Trump wrote on Friday. "He is a weak and untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI."
In the ABC News interview, Comey said Trump is "morally unfit" to be president.
Furthermore, according to ABC News, "Comey talked about the possibility of the president obstructing justice, his concerns over whether the Russians have something to hold over Trump, [and] the way he defends his actions relating to the Hillary Clinton email saga."
Comey was abruptly fired by Trump in May of last year.
