Former FBI Director James Comey has denied his alleged role in the “Obamagate” scandal. During a recent interview, he attempted to ridicule the probe, which has been investigating the origins of the Russian hoax.
“I’m not worried at all about that investigation of the investigation,” stated Comey. “Next, I’m sure will be an investigation of the investigation of the investigation.”
The former FBI chief alleged the probe, led by U.S. Attorney John Durham, could be a partisan endeavor. His dismissal of the effort comes despite evidence of FISA abuses and efforts to spy on the Trump campaign, which initially prompted the investigation.
According to Comey, he still believes he did nothing wrong.
“I can’t imagine that I’m a target,” he said. “Given that I know what happened during 2016, which was a bunch of people trying to do the right thing consistent with the law, they just want to have an investigation to talk about.”
He added he hasn’t spoken or sat down for an interview with Durham.
However, it was reported earlier this year the Justice Department was investigating Comey over a possible leak of classified information. The status of the probe is currently unclear.
