Trump Dodges Comey Query with Bold Fabrication: Viewers Criticize Reporter’s Framing for Letting Him Escape Scrutiny

President Donald Trump has refuted any connection to the recent federal indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. This comes despite his prior post on Truth Social, where he directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to take action against Comey and other political foes. During a recent Oval Office press briefing, Trump reverted to familiar tactics. "Comey is a dishonest guy. I have nothing to do with the case, I just say…" he stated, moments before CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins interjected. "But you called on Pam Bondi to prosecute him in a Truth Social post," Collins pressed. Trump retorted, “No, no, I don’t call anybody. If I wanted to, I could.” Critics accused Trump of trying to evade responsibility for a case he had publicly urged action on. Comey’s indictment occurred shortly after Trump’s post, involving charges of making false statements and obstruction regarding a Senate hearing. Many argue that this indictment exemplifies the politicization of the Justice Department under Trump.
